After the tremendous support from our members last year, when we raised almost £2000 for the Children's Hospice Association Scotland (CHAS), we are once again holding a charity auction in 2011. Our auction last year was linked to a sponsored event at the Lake of Menteith, however this year, we thought that we'd run the event completely independently.
This year we would like to donate all the proceeds to another very worthy cause - Casting For Recovery www.castingforrecovery.org.uk/
For anyone interested in donating lots, please feel free to add them on this thread and one of the moderators will regularly update the list. Your assistance and generosity is very much appreciated.
Closing date for bids will be Saturday 30th April at 20:00 which should give us ample time.
