November
30th Update
The Saturday evening "Auction of Promises" attracted in excess of
one hundred expectant bidders, despite atrocious stormy weather conditions outside.
The hall was filled to bursting point, with standing-room-only by the time the
auction started at 7.00pm.
A wonderful evening, handled with skill and wit by Paul Watson, resulted in
bids totalling over £2,300!
A great big THANK YOU to everybody who took part - whether you donated items
or promises, bid and won (or bid and lost!), or just turned up to enjoy the
evening ... and, of course, a special THANK YOU
to Paul Watson and Donald Hilton, and to those who handled the complicated administration
so efficiently and effectively.

Procedures
|
On the Day
|
Postal Bidding
|
|
The
highest bidder will receive a yellow card showing the Lot No. and the
Promise or Item. At the close
of the Auction these cards should be handed in at the treasurers' table
together with the appropriate money.
In return, the bidder will receive a green card indicating the
name, address, and telephone number of the person who has made the promise. It is then the responsibility of the purchaser
to make contact with the donor and arrange a mutually convenient time
to receive the offer. Items available
on the night can be collected only by handing the green card to those
staffing the display table.
|
If you
are unable to attend the auction, Postal bids must be received by Wednesday 13th October |
|
Emmanuel Church is grateful to all those who have made promises or donated gifts, to the church members who have organised the event and, most especially, to Mr. Paul Watson the auctioneer. |
