An enormous thankyou to everybody who attended and donated and/or bid a lot! As you can see from the list below, we had a very successful evening with over 80 lots (all of which were sold!). Many thanks to Mr Robert Bell for his services as auctioneer (I'm sure you'll agree he did a wonderful job). Also, thanks to Horncastle Golf and Country club for providing a lovely venue for the evening. The evening helped to raise in excess of £6000 for Hunt funds!!
