Promises Auction Not Cancelled!!!!

[Pi55y]

 Just in case anyone is reading this post for the first time and does not bother reading to the end of the thread, I have amended the heading. To confirm tonights (June 3)  Charity Promises Auction is definately on.
The weather is looking good now so it is all systems go. We look forward to seeing you tonight.

Now back to thenoriginal post ..................
]Due to thunderstorms being forecast for this evening on several weather websites, the 3C's have decided to cancel tonights auction. We are really sorry and apologise to anyone who has planned their evening around the auction but we cannot take the risk with the electrics.
Next Wednesdays auction on June 3 will go ahead as planned and will feature the items listed for tonights auction so that means you have an extra week to let us have your internet commission bids on these lots. The second part of the auction  will then be rescheduled on a different date t.b.a.
Please could you let everyone know who might be intending to come tonight. Thank you

Sorry to hear this Chrissie, But lets hope it brings further bids.

What a shame.  Will have to go and get my nails done now, cannot wait another week to bid for the voucher.  Hope the second sale is before we leave.

Well it looks as though the weather men got it wrong as the storm never materialised, athough it did go very grey around 8.30ish and the wind got up and it got cold.  Still better to be safe than sorry as we would hate for this years auctioneer Karaokemark to have gone up in a puff of smoke.

Like I said earlier the auction is now rescheduled for next Wednesday and the new posters are already up.  It will be a similar catalogue to last nights one (see list for first auction under the 3C's section of CBF) but there will be a few tweaks and a few additional  promises added.  The remainder of the promises and any new promises received in the meantime  will be auctioned at a second auction at a date still to be arranged.

We have now reopened internet bidding for items in the first auction  for those who are unable to attend next Wednesday so if there is anything there that you would like to place a bid on, please pm me with your starting bid and what you would like to bid up to.  Nearly all of the promises cover the whole of the tourist season so you will be able to use them when you are out on holiday or if it is a physical item we can keep it safe for you until you arrive. Smaller items can also be posted out in UK.

Here is hoping the weather stays kind to you... This is two months of foot slogging to physically collect and beg for the promises.. and the admin and organisation is  unbelievable... I know that no way would you have cancelled and disappointed anyone if it could be helped and caused yourselves all the extra work involved.. See u there. X
