Silent auction for the 2024 fête
New for the 2024 Bellingdon and Asheridge Village Fête, we’re running a silent auction where you can bid for some incredible items (via email to fetesilentauction@gmail.com or at the fête itself).
We’re lucky enough to have been given three amazing donations for you to bid on:
1. A pair of ice skates, signed by Olympic gold medal winners and Dancing on Ice judges Torvill and Dean, courtesy of ITV Studios.
2. Two audience tickets to the Pinewood Studios recording of any episode of Taskmaster series 19 in September 2024, courtesy of Avalon UK.
3. A morning of trout fly fishing at the members-only Latimer Park Trout Lake with instruction. Tackle and picnic lunch included.
You can place your bids via email now: fetesilentauction@gmail.com or in person at the raffle stall at the fête on Saturday 29th June. When we close the bidding at 4pm on the day, the highest bid for each item wins!
There’s nothing to pay unless you win your item, so just let us know how much you would like to bid.
To find out more, or to place a bid, email fetesilentauction@gmail.com or come and see us at the fête. The lucky winners will be announced after the raffle has been drawn.
Also: Don’t forget you can buy your raffle tickets online ahead of the fête!
