BIDDING IS NOW CLOSED Thank you all of you who have bid and helped to support the Charity Ball

A few people have asked whether they can bid on items listed for the Charity Ball Auction, so we have decided to allow pre-bidding on a couple of exclusive items, and items that do not incur transportation costs.

A point to clarify for folks ............ the auction is open to all at this stage, you do not have to be attending the Ball to bid on these items!! The highest bidder at close of play on Friday noon will then have the option to give us their telehpone number and join in any further bidding live from the Ball - this is ONLY open to the highest bidder though so get your bid in now!

These are the only items available - the others are being maintained as exclusive to Ball attendees. Attendees at the Ball will have the option to outbid the closing online bid

All proceeds will this year be benefiting the Anthony Nolan Trust: http://www.anthonynolan.org.uk/

Happy Bidding

To bid you MUST do the following:

Post in this thread the item you want to bid on along with your bid amount in pound sterling.

Send a Private Message to both Soggycornflakes and Shamster confirming the bid item and amount.

Any posted bid without a confirmed private message will be invalid

The bid is binding, you cannot retract your bid.

The closing time for online bidding is 12:00 (Noon) BST Friday 7th April
Due to work commitments I will not be available at 12:00 noon Friday 7th April to close the auction so this will now run until 20:00 Friday 7th April Happy Bidding

Payment will be through PayPal and the 3.4% PayPal processing fee will be added to your final bid.

PayPal invoice will be sent by by Monday 10th April and payment must be made by Friday 14th April.

Lot #1

Full Aero Kit for your MINI

High Bid to date: £500 - stripey

Make your MINI more individual with a full aero kit. The kit will be ordered according to your colour specification to match your car and comprises of front and rear bumpers, as well as the aero side skirts and front grill. This excludes fitting which you may arrange at a local dealer yourself. So whether you have a Cooper or an S, a tintop or a convertible, this prize will fit all MINI's and will be posted to any UK address.

Lot #2

Golf Day at Mottram Hall

High Bid to date: £0

A unique opportunity to enjoy a Golf day at Mottram Hall Golf Club, Cheshire on Wednesday 9th August - team of 4, 18 holes of golf plus dinner.
This item carries a reserve price but consider that it is for 4 people and it is not expensive at all - maybe someone would like to use it as a Corporate entertainment package, or someone maybe just wants to have a great day out with 3 mates......

Lot #3

Ride with Russ" from Russ Swift

High Bid to date: £100 - Aiden

Fancy being a passenger of Russ Swift as he performs some stunts at an event?

You can liaise with Russ as to which of the events he's displaying at and would best suit from a date and geographical (UK) perspective - maybe the Motor Show, maybe Gaydon .... up to you.

This is a unique experience and surely has to be one of the best experiences for any fan of the MINI

Big thank you to Russ

Lot #4

GGR S200 Conversion (210bhp)

High Bid to date: £275 - Naughty Magpie

GGR S200 Conversion (210bhp)

1 x S200 conversion for a MINI Cooper S (210bhp) would retail at well over £1000
http://www.grahamgoode.com/mini/prod...hp?partno=S200

To be used by 30th September 2006

Thanks GGR

I'll up that bid to £60 as the only other time I saw a Russ Swift ride for auction it went for well over £300

AidenL · Apr 2nd, 2006, 09:22 AM

Can I remind bidders they need to get permission from their good lady wife first, then post in here AND send me and Sham a PM to confirm !

Mike Edwards · Apr 4th, 2006, 07:26 PM

£250 for the aerokit

SoggyCornFlakes · Apr 4th, 2006, 07:44 PM

Mike Edwards is leading the way at £250 ............. still less than a quarter of the normal dealer price, a bargain is to be had here folks , keep bidding.

And the Russ Swift experience stands at only £100 so far, and no bids on the Golfing day

What happened to all the swingers on here
