AUCTION OF PROMISES – A DATE FOR YOUR DIARY
On the evening of Friday 9th October, the Fundraising/Social committee are organising an Auction of Promises. Three years ago this proved to be a very successful event, and we are hoping you can help.
Are you able to offer a service, skill or good(s) which someone else would be happy to buy? Do put some thought as to what you or a family member might be able to offer. In addition, do ask those you do business with whether they would help support the Priory by offering a service, voucher or goods. The catalogue, which will be available closer to the time from the TIC, specifically asks those bidding for the lots to support all the businesses that have supported us.
If you think you can help, please contact Geoff Bricknell (07836 731293) gandhbricknell@gmail.com, or Bill Quelch (07767 305747) quelchbill@gmail.com
