Update – Exeter Business Network Charity Auction – lot’s for lot’s

November 11, 2013
“No one has ever become poor by giving” – Anne Frank,
Exeter Business Network supports the following charities – Families for Children, St Loye’s Foundation, WESC Foundation and Devon Air Ambulance
I would like to offer you the opportunity to support the fabulous work that these charities do at the Exeter Business Network on 4th December at Sandy Park
Historically we have had a Christmas raffle at the December lunch but for December 2013 we are having an auction and we would like to ask you to donate a prize. Our auctioneer will be David Fitzgerald (Fitz) – from BBC Radio Devon!
“I try not to speak about all the charities and people I help, because I believe we can only be truly generous when we expect nothing in return”
– Muhammad Ali
Any prizes that you wish to donate that will encourage people to really want to bid for would be great! Your time, expertise are all valuable and business enhancing and so are spa experiences, hotel stays, dining experiences, cases of fine wine, sporting memorabilia and I am sure there are many, many things that you have that can be auctioned!
“When we give cheerfully and accept gratefully, everyone is blessed”– Maya Angelou
“If you’re in the luckiest one per cent of humanity, you owe it to the rest of humanity to think about the other 99 per cent” – Warren Buffett
Oh and did I say “Any prizes that you wish to donate that will encourage people to really want to bid for would be great! Your time, expertise are all valuable and business enhancing and so are spa experiences, hotel stays, dining experiences, cases of fine wine, sporting memorabilia and I am sure there are many, many things that you have that can be auctioned!”
Smaller lots will be bundled together to make fabulous lots!
“You have not lived today until you have done something for someone who can never repay you.” – John Bunyan

If you would like to bid then you have 2 choices – the best choice is to be at the event – contact sean@business-network.co.uk for your invite or the second  was to bid online – a commision bid***, by Twitter or something like that – but having considered my IT skills – best you come along and enjoy supporting the charities and benefiting from THE networking lunch

Tour of Lyme Regis Lifeboat Station – courtesy of Tim Wadsworth from Space

Lyme Regis Lifeboat, The Spirit of Loch Fyne is an 8.5 metre rigid inflatable. The Atlantic 85 was introduced in the latter half of 2005 as the latest development of the B class and Lyme Regis received delivery of the brand new boat in April this year. They have a manually operated self-righting mechanism and are capable of being beached in an emergency without sustaining damage to engines or steering gear. The Atlantic 85 is fitted with radar and VHF direction finding equipment and can be operated safely in daylight in a force 6/7 and at night in a force 5/6.  The tour will be with Tim Wadsworth a volunteer lifeboat crew and will take approximately 30/45 minutes. You will see where the crew rush to change in to their all weather gear. Get answers to questions you have always wondered about. You can climb onto the Lifeboat but we won’t be going to sea!  This will be ideal for a family with young children or groups of up to ten. £££££££

***If you cannot attend the auction in person to bid, you can submit a commission bid 

Commission bids are the maximum amount up to which the auctioneer may bid on your behalf.   They will be executed at the lowest possible price having regard to any reserve and competing bids.  If two buyers submit identical commission bids, the auctioneer will give preference to the first bid received. The auctioneer will execute commission bids directly from the rostrum, clearly identifying the successful bid as commission bid.

Commission bids may be left by email to sean@business-network.co.uk no later than 3rd December 2013
