Hook And Hackle Club Annual Auction

[ladystrange]

 

 

go to www.hookandhackleclub.org for meeting location. This Wednesday April 28. Bring itemes to sell or come to get in on the great deals and bring a friend.

 

Just a details about our annual auction, which is all set to go this Wednesday April 28 at our regular meeting location. As always, a fun evening will be in store as Auctioneer Stan leads the big sell-off of a multitude of treasures donated by club members and supportive local businesses.

 

 

 

Please take the opportunity to do some spring cleaning at home and identify any items (they don’t have to be fishing-related!) you want to donate to the auction. For more valuable items (worth more than $50 or so) that you may want to sell rather than donate, let us know your minimum price and we will set that as the “reserve price” on the item. If our auctioneer is able to solicit a final bid that is greater than the reserve price, you receive the reserve price and the club keeps the difference. If bids do not exceed the reserve price, you take your item back home. Plan to arrive with your items between 6:00 and 6:45 pm – the bidding starts at 7:00 pm sharp!

 

 

 

Also, please take note of the following to help ensure the evening runs smoothly:

 

 

 

The auction is open to everyone. Members and guests may donate items and participate in the bidding.

 

 

All bidders will register with the Treasurer and receive a bidder number.

 

 

If you plan to bid, please do not forget to bring payment! Canadian cash or cheques accepted. Cheque payments work best for us as our ability to make change can sometimes be limited.

 

 

Please plan to pay for your items either at the end of the evening or at the break about halfway through. It is very difficult for us to accept payments and make change, etc. while the live auction is going on.
