Announcing the All New BMRC On Line Auction!

[veitchy]

In the middle of April, some generous donations of additional lots to be added to the original eight for the BMRC On Line Auction were made and it became apparent that others were on the way.

Because of this, it was decided to suspend the On Line Auction, which had been announced earlier, and to re-launch it when we knew that all likely donations had been received. That turned out to be a good decision as we now have 16 lots, the last two being received more recently.

So, I am pleased to announce that the BMRC On Line Auction is open for bids and to share with you the updated Auction Catalogue. The re-launch has also provided the opportunity to revise and simplify the bidding process, as you will see from the section headed “How to bid at the BMRC On Line Auction” on the last page of the Catalogue.

This auction is a unique opportunity to add to the Club’s “I Built the Team” fundraising project, an essential element of preparing for next season and replacing the very substantial amount of lost income resulting from the cancellation of two home matches, a major fundraising lunch and other significant social events, all of which would have contributed significantly to the Club’s finances.

Whether or not you bid for any of the lots yourself, please support the event by distributing this message, with the Auction Catalogue, to your entire database of family, friends, business contacts, even people you know only slightly, and include a request that all recipients forward the details on to all their respective contacts, wherever in the country, or even the world, they may be!

Please address queries, concerns or requests to Peter Veitch at [e-mail]. Thank you so much for your support.

I should point out that I have already altered the list of bids three times since 9.00 am today to record new first bids, but changes made that way by editing don't change the time of the original post.

You may, therefore, assume incorrectly that no changes to the bidding have been received, so it is worth checking the list regularly if you want to know the status of bids at any time.

There have been several changes since the previous update so check the list which I have just updated again. For a copy of the updated Catalogue, please email me. It may not be updated again and does not show the opening bids for Lots 9 and 16, received this morning.

Final total for the On Line Auction is £3145. Individual final lot bids are shown above.

Thanks to all for help and support.
