We held our first "Silent Auction" in 2007 - Newbury Rotary Club
very kindly managed what proved to be an event similar in style to an Ebay
auction. A substantial amount of money was raised and we would like to
thank all individuals and corporate donors for their generosity without whom
this auction would not be possible, and all our bidders for their support.
The process will be similar for 2009 - bids may be placed
either in person to the auctioneer at the Gala Evening or at the West Woodhay
Garden Show. To keep informed on the bids on your chosen lot please call the
Silent Auction phone line
07748
338136 - you will be told the current high bid and may then enter your own higher bid.
The bidding will continue until exactly 4.00 pm on Sunday 21st June, the second
day of the West Woodhay Garden Show. At that time the highest bidder for each
lot will win that lot and should collect their purchase from the Silent Auction
stand by 5.00 pm. If two or more bidders are present and bidding when the
auction closes, the auction will continue until only one bidder remains. If you
are successful but are unable to be there on the day, please make arrangements
for collection with the auctioneer. Full
conditions of the auction may be found in the catalogue.
When you do get to the Show please take a moment to browse the final list on
the Auction boards as we are sure there is something for everyone; the list of
