The Auction Venue
The bar at the venue is
open from 6pm, upstairs from the room used for the auction. Apart from
traditional bar things (like pints of beer !) it also sells teas and
coffees,
and will have a supply of filled rolls. Food and drink should not be
brought
into the auction room during viewing, but can be once the auction
starts. Being
a rugby club, the catering is of course sensible in terms of quality
and price.
Parking is available in
the club’s own car park. After 5pm we have unrestricted use of the
space, but
before that there can sometimes be other people using the sports
grounds. If
required, can customers please take guidance from Club staff. Of
course,
parking should be in designated spaces, and disabled bays should be
respected.
Running for Caroline
My twin sister Gillian and I
both completed the Edinburgh Marathon on 22nd May.
No personal bests this year; I did it in
4hours 51 and my sister took 5 hours 03.
To date we have raised £1,131-81 (plus gift aid !) for
Leonard Cheshire Disability
and we are both delighted. A massive
thank you to all of you who so kindly donated.

0845
0500 886 Use
this number to make bids or to check on
prices after the auction – or any time you want to speak to us – from
anywhere
in the UK for the cost of a local rate phone call.
€uro Currency; We are happy to
accept Euro cash payments in our shop. We normally allow the market
rate
rounded down to the next whole penny. For example, at the time of
writing, the
market rate is 0.8884, so we are allowing 88p per Euro (which is
probably
better than your bank will give you). You can also pay for lots in this
auction
by Euro banknotes (postal customers please confirm before sending). We
also
accept payments in
our shop in
Euros, and we buy the old “legacy” currencies, as well as other coins and
notes.
Most
auctions include a few lots which, due to their large size or weight
compared
to value, will not be taken to the auction venue. They must therefore
be viewed
at our shop during the previous week, and successful purchasers will be
responsible for their collection from us. The symbol for these is “ Ä”, and very generally speaking,
there's a cut-off
point of about £2 or £3 estimate per kilo weight.
If you attend the auction and buy any of these lots, you can either
call at the
shop during normal opening hours, or it is sometimes possible to
arrange to
pick up after the auction has finished (though please first speak to
Mr. Murray
to arrange this).
NORMAL BIDDING
STEPS
We
list here our normal bid steps for your information. This may be of
help to bidders
who are unable to
attend the sale, as any written bids received which do not fit our
normal
pattern would usually be taken
down to the next normal step. (We keep to these increments as much as
possible,
but do sometimes
change if circumstances make it desirable.)
Up to £20, bids are in £1 steps.
From £20 to £30, bids are in £2 steps.
>From £30 to £50, bids are in £2 or £3 steps
(i.e. £30, £32, £35, £38, £40, £42,
£45, £48, £50).
>From £50 to £100 in £5 steps.
From £100 to £200,
bids are in £10 steps.
>From £200 to £300, bids are in £20 steps.
>From £300 to £500, bids are in £20 or £30,

(Visa/MasterCard) or 18p (Maestro

VIEWING; please note that lots can normally be viewed in our
shop during the one week prior to the auction. It is sometimes
possible
to view auction lots outside the normal times, but this must be by
special
arrangement.
