There was viewing of the lots between 11.00 am and 2.00 pm and the Auction itself started at 2.00 pm. I ‘took the gavel’ and auctioned the first 10 items – great fun! – I raised nearly £100 on just these items. The hall was jam packed with goodies and the lots went fast and furiously once the brilliant proper auctioneer, Hilary Bolt, took over. I hope it was successful in raising lots of funds for the parish, as I could not stay due to my next official engagement.
