Bongo Fury

On behalf of the team, and personally, I'd like to thank Ian & Marianne for allowing me to hold the auction in support of KSMRT funds.

Your support was fantastic with some of you selling items, plus we had some amazing donations for auctioning with all going to Team funds, including a couple of awnings! Thanks to all who donated items.

There were 57 lots in total of which 46 were sold. Total cash turnover from lots was over £600

I'd hoped that I could raise somewhere between £150 - £200.

Thanks to your generosity the total raised from the auction was £387+ and when adding donations in the collection box the total raised has come to:
£428-32p

Barring only 1 minor clitch (apoligies to those involved) everyone seemed to enjoy the auction and some lucky peeps went home with some amazing bargains.

If there is sufficient intrest I'm happy to organise another one next year for a different charity.

cheers

Hi Harry...may i say many thanks for the auction as i have never been to one before and found it great fun ..me and the little one.. bidding for the diecast bongo and winning was just the icing on the cake to what was a great bash...our 1st by the way..ian if you read this..what a great bash you and your team organised m8.. ..please allow the auction next year it was so much fun..and see you all again next year ...billy the bongo.

I think it was a smashing idea, I for one would be happy for Harry to organise the auction again for the funds to go to his mountain rescue team, they do stunning work for little or no recognition.
Congrats to all who won and sold items (including me)

A big hand to Harry and everyone who got their hard earned CASH out to help a great cause.

Well done all

Fantastic effort all round, well done.

The auction was great fun and I hope it'll return again next year. Maybe I'll have a little more cash in my pocket and more luck with the bidding!!!
