Havant Rotary Club held a Charity Auction on Friday the 31st October at Hayling Island Community Centre. The funds raised from the Auction will be used to support the Club's work with local charities and projects

The Auction was an exciting night with the room decorated in halloween style to add a certain magic to the atmosphere.

A Champagne reception and Dinner was followed by the auction and with auctioneer Derek Bowerman in fine form the bids were soon being extracted from the 150 attendees.

A total slightly in excess of £8,500 was made on the evening. The star lot of The Honda test day visit reached a very acceptable £440.

We would like to thank everyone who made this evening possible, donators of lots, sponsors, bidders and the team that worked so hard to make sure the evening happened.

The auction catalogue was on-line and can still be viewed. Over 50 bids were received from the internet alone. The Auction Catalogue is available online by clicking here

Havant Rotary President Graham Smith said "This auction was an excellent evening and was enjoyed by everyone who was there. The monies raised will help us with our work in the community. Many of the items that are included in this auction simply would not normally be available.
