Does anyone know if the 3C's are holding their auction this year?

I don't think so.

I can confirm, sadly, that there won't be an Auction this year. :( :( :(

That's a real shame. We've had many a good night joining in the fun. Some of the bits donated by JH were absolutely exquisite.

It's also a lost opportunity to make a massive amount of money in a short space of time for needy causes locally. Doesn't make sense to me.

I agree Scunner. A friend who lives in Calis  told me a few weeks ago that there was no auction this year. I can't believe that this brilliant way of making money for the charity has been dropped. The auction itself was a lot of fun and the donations were amazing. It's a shame that this money maker will have an impact on funds for the kids because it's not happening this year.

Nor me, but I'm not surprised.

That’s a real shame such a lost opportunity which was allways well supported

Pi55y and/or liz101 will know better than I but I suspect the staging of the Auction is a sizable undertaking especially for a diminishing number of people.

They are doing their best under very challenging circumstances.

Aren’t these people retired? You find a venue (anyone interested in having their bar stacked to the rafters) you list the pledges kindly gifted, you get an auctioneer.

Sorry but it doesn’t appear a huge undertaking to me.  All it needs is a bit of time and a desire to raise lots of money for good causes. I imagine all concerned have one of those.
