Even though it took 3 years and 3 attempts because of COVID lockdowns the final result was a very pleasing one for the Charities of The Cancer Society and  Chatbus with in excess of 30k raised on auction items. These were anything from  $100 hospitality vouchers selling for $210 ( yep double the value) ,several items of art over $1000 each and the highest bid on the night for a piece of excuisite jewellery for $3100.This year’s  crowd of 95 participants were high spirited and thoroughly enjoyed themselves  on the night quaffing fine wines complimented with delicious food .The Auctioneer Richard Stringer from Harcourts was in excellent form entertaining  the crowd with many quips and stories at the same time extracting a record night in the form of dollars . Many thanks must go to Auction committee and those that supported them on the night.
