Help For Heroes 4 balls / auction items

[richart]

If anyone can get 4 ball vouchers for the H4H charity auction at Camberley Heath, could they post details on here. Last year we had a huge response, and some were sold on the day, and some on the forum. The amount raised from these 4 balls was a major part of the grand total.

We are also looking for other items such as clubs, bags, balls etc, which could either be auctioned or used as raffle prizes. If everyone playing could bring a raffle prize that would be fantastic, as the raffle is another good earner !

Any queries please post on here or drop me a pm.

If it's possible to have auctions on the forum, prior to the main event, that would be great.

We normally put the auction items on the forum first, with some being sold on the forum and some on the day. If you are not attending the day you can leave a bid with me, and I can bid on your behalf. It also speeds up the auction as we having a starting bid.

This seems to work well, and guarantees the highest bids.

Any specific requirements (summer months, weekends etc) or just see whatever the club can do?

The best vouchers are for 12 months as that then covers next summer. Six month vouchers only really cover the winter.

We are grateful for any vouchers though, as we have always been able to sell them.

Just to let everyone know, Greg (GB72) usually contacts the manufacturers for us, and over the years has managed to obtain some fantastic auction items. This year due to heavy family commitments he has been unable to take on this role.

Robin (Fish) has kindly volunteered to step into the breach, and will be using Greg's contacts to see what he can come up with. Thanks to Greg for all his help in the past, and to Robin for taking on the task.

I would ask that forumers who are going to bring auction prizes or raffle prizes, do this from their own sources rather than contact manufacturers direct. We do not want to be seen to bombarding them with requests.

Raffle prizes can just be brought along on the day, but if you do have anything worth auctioning let me know. We like to put these items on the forum first, and finish the auction on the day. This means we get the best bids and you do not need to be playing the day to get a chance of bidding. I will bid on anyones behalf that is not playing at Camberley, if you pm me with your maximum bid before the auction.

Any queries please just ask.

Thanks Richard, and I have no idea what you mean.

I've got two 4 ball vouchers coming from my home course, Whickham GC.

There's been a lot of work done to the course and club since last year namely:-

• Two new holes being brought into play
• New Short game area
• New 3 bay driving range
• Extensive work done on the greens, vast improvement

Course is now a par 71 and in great condition.

Got feelers out for more vouchers as per last year but not heard anything back as yet.

Can Golf Monthly help us out?

They do a hell of a lot for us, this is a free platform for us all to promote and sell through but that aside, Mike & his team are extremely supportive.

Very true, and over the years GM (Mike) have provided some fantastic auction items.

This thread is more of an appeal to forumers to see what they can come up with. Have a word with your club, or drop a few local ones a line to see if they will support the day. There is nothing to lose in asking.

We also had some fantastic second hand clubs, including some lovely putters last year, which raised a significant amount at the auction, and on the forum. If you have a club you are not using, and think it might raise a few bob let me know.:thup:
