Default Auction V 2011 Lot 54: Wiltshire Avon with Dan C

Generously donated by Dan Coloby esq. One day, one rod, on a prime beat of the wonderful Wiltshire Avon. Chalkstream fishing at its finest, hosted by Dan "The Man" Colloby and his beautiful wife. You'll be winded and dined - whether you choose the breakfast or lunch option, and... I am reliably informed... if the lot is won by someone with Monnowlia Mafia connections, then they can expect to be boarded in the famous Gareth Lewis suite of Colloby Towers.

I can vouch for said Suite, and very comfortable it is too. I hope you all realise what a fantastic lot this is

It sounds great Gareth, and on the basis of Cranefly's expectations of Mrs Colloby, I'll pay for him to myself

My expectations are firmly rooted in the terms of your introduction to this lot, TM.

On the basis that the 'suite' has been (hopefully) fumigated since .... I'll bid £50.

In which case I'll bid £60.

Paul , are you sure that you've got the hang of this online auction business ??

Whilst discretion forbids me to comment on the personal hygiene of Mr Lewis , I can say that he was the perfect house guest and anyone who wins this lot has a very big pair of shoes to fill .

Fancy upping the ante Lighthouse ?

Dan
