Calgary Hook And Hackle Club Gear Auction Apr 26

[RossMurphy]

Not sure if this is the right place to post this but here it goes.

 

Open to the public, there's going to be lots of great stuff up for grabs here this year. Or if you have things you want to sell bring them.

Come on out but don't bid against me because I'm going to be buying.

 

This is taken straight from their site http://hookandhackleclub.org/special_events_63.html

Hook and Hackle Club

Description

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: 1. The auction is open to everyone. Members and guests may donate items and participate in the bidding. 2. All bidders will register with the Treasurer and receive a bidder number. 3. 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. 4. 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. NOTE: All payments MUST be in cash or check. No exceptions. Thank you to members who have helped out by obtaining donations from various local businesses.

In our experience, the items for auction are brought to the club just prior to the event. So, there is no way to know what items will be available. The only live auction items listed ahead of time are the various trips. Here is a list of trips for this year.
