Default Charity Auction

I am in the processes of setting up a charity auction to raise money for a branch of Hospice in South Africa. (see the following thread: Charity Auction to raise money for the Hospice). The auction should be up and running by the 18th of March and will be run on the Fly Auction website (Fly Auction) if anyone would like to contribute to this auction for a very worthy cause then please do get in contact with me. So far people have donated some amazing things for the auction.

Many thanks in advance.

Peter Louw

The Auction is now live and can be found here: Fly Auction - The No Fees Auction Site For Fly Fishing Hospice Charity Auction

This is for a very good cause and so please do take a look and pass this onto anyone else you can think of.

I would like to thank everyone who has contributed to the auction, our very own Mr Trout with his furled leaders as well as other members who have sent in collections of flies. Please note that for display purposes and I have put a link in the auction page to point to the corresponding blog entry where high resolution and lower resolution images of the full lot are available.

Thanks once again to everyone and happy bidding!

Pete

Just to let you know the auction is gaining some momentum with the highest bid now at £130 which is still a bargain when you consider the full package you are bidding on.

22 hrs left to go on the auction, it is now up to £320 which is still a great deal if you can outbid it!

We have a winner! Bidder Christopher had the winning bid of £320 for the hospice charity auction. Thanks to everyone who took part! The money is going to a very good cause and we hope to have a press release coming out about it in the next week or so.
