Olney Rugby Club Auction of Promises
This year Olney RFC will be hosting an Auction of Promises to raise funds towards their clubhouse development and playing side. This event is held every two years and is always a very well attended and successful event raising in excess of £10,000. This year an element of the funds raised will be going towards supporting children’s rugby in South African townships. With over 100 lots to bid on, auction lots vary from sailing lessons, ski chalets, villas, memorabilia, to slaves for a day and bottles of wine.
Last time we even had a 10’ rolling pin. It will as always promise to be a very successful evening with table service for bidders and a professional auctioneer.
Your support is always welcome for one of your community sports clubs. If you would like further details or to donate an auction item then please feel free to contact Dean Henrickson ondeanhenrickson@ mjroofing.co.uk or 07831 789646
