Auction Success

On Sunday we held our silent auction at the GONELLS FOOTBALL CLUB.We had spent hours the night before gift wrapping the items and getting everything in order. Matt started his first trip of dropping things off at 9:00am.The day started very slow and for a time we were getting quite worried.By 3:30pm we started to get some people in and some activity in the bidding,and an hour later when we started our big auction most items had bids on them.The raffle for the hamper we put together was selling really well,having an estimated value of $1300 worth of goods.We started our main auction and we were surprised at how well some things went for.So we can now announce our total for the day was $7370.This total is made up of silent auction,main auction,raffle tickets,100 club and a surprise donation from Kimbo from the CORFIELD TAVERN of $823.We would very much like to thank Bob Uttenbrook of the Gosnells Football club,who in a short space of time Bob had got a huge amount of goods for the auction.Thanks  to Norm Barratt of the Gosnells Football Club.Norm is the outgoing president and he donated a custom made esky for the auction, he is top bloke and our family were touched by his generosity and the kind words he spoke.A huge thanks to our neighbour Steely ,also member of the football clubs committee for his efforts in getting auction items and selling raffle tickets. We would also like to thank THREEPLAY Acoustic for playing for the first part of the day.
