A NIGHT OF COLLECTIVE MADNESS!

…. and fantastic generosity, as the Rosedale annual charity auction took place last night in the Coach Inn, where around 90 intrepid locals and visitors braved torrential rain and gusty winds to attend the ever popular sale of donated goods to raise money for local charities.

A selection of the auction lots on display – lots more were on sale including some too big to be brought inside!
The first lot, the traditional jar of pickled onions, and Dave Seller and the assistants are looking nervous
The team are warming up and getting into the swing of it, with the lots are starting to go well
At last the pace picks up further and the sale items are selling at some very odd prices, but it’s all more money for good causes.

The final total raised was £3,322, a magnificent effort all round and one of which the whole community can feel very proud.

As always, heartfelt thanks to Dave Oakey and the team at the Coach House and to Dave Seller and the volunteer helpers who set up and ran the auction so efficiently, and, of course, to all who donated auction items so generously.
