March 17th Silent Auction
We welcome lots for our next silent auction.
Lots should be small enough to be placed on our display boards, such as single stamps, sets, miniature sheets, covers etc securely held wallets of some kind. Attach to each lot a brief description and clearly show the reserve price.
Complete a vendor list form including your reference number but leave the lot number vacant. The form may be downloaded here as an XLS spreadsheet file.
Bring the lots to the meeting on the day and hand to the 'Silent Auction Auctioneer', who will complete the rest of the paperwork and place the items on the frames. We usually pay out at the meeting after buyers have collected and paid for their lots.
If you have any queries, please email me or ring 07973 696291.
Thanks
