Filbert, that's kind of the point, I'm not really auctioning FI type stuff. Thus far we have the following:

Signed Sheffield Utd shirt
Signed Man U pennant
Signed Everton FC picture
Signed Sunderland FC picture
Tornado F3 flight
VC10 flight
Herc flight
Fortnum & Mason hamper
Holly McGuire signed calendar
etc etc.

There is hopefully a bit more stuff on offer, but not yet confirmed.

I want to make this a great nights entertainment for the guys and girls, but also raise a substantial amount of cash for the 2 charities. The thing is we're unlikely to raise a substantial amount without more donations, hence the request for help on here!

Cheers :D

I want the tornado flight, do I have to come down there to get it?

I can offer as much resettlement information as you can handle but its free anyway.

Filbert, unfortunately yes, you would have to come here for it, and to be honest I do already have a rather huge sealed 'telephone' bid for it, which I doubt will be beaten on the night!

I will however be opening up some of the non theatre specific items for outside bids, I will put up a full list nearer the time.

Come on peeps, any more offers of help out there? I need as much stuff as possible to make the night a success

Have you contacted the helpful crew at H4H for some advice. They were very helpful with my day.

Unfortunately all the clubs and famous guys and gals are inundated with these types of appeals and many have already contributed significantly to the cause.

It's hard and up hill task but I wish you all the luck.

The last time we tried to auction the Falklands it was a shambles, there was only one bidder.

General Galtieri didn't understand the sellers reserve clause.

My tip, put it in a bin full of saw dust and call it a lucky dip. My kids would soon get sick of all those Bennies and bob hats.

I would imagine that Galtieri would have a problem with bidding on any items for this, especially as some of the money will be going to SAMA 82,

Morning fella,

usual Monday morning 'Bump' to get a few more viewings and hopefully some more help!

We have a few good items now and just need to finish off with a few quality last minute touches. Can anyone help at all, this is the last chance saloon due to time constraints (limited airbridges between now and the event).

Thanks to those who have helped, it is hugely appreciated.

Cheers. :D

That "sealed" bid is still wondering he'll be eligible to take the flight should they win. When is the big fundraiser and where?

Unfortunately the Tornado flight has been withdrawn due to a change in policy, real shame as that alone was worth Â£1000 from the sealed bid.

Still in need of further items if anyone can help, but the event is on 28 Feb 09 so you will have to get a shift on to get them here in time.

Cheers :D
