Radio 2 - 30 minute auction

[viscount17]

caught this on the way back from Bristol and realised most of you are still slaving or will not normally tune to radio 2.

Tomorrow morning at 7:30am on the Chris EVans programme there will be a 30 minute auction in aid of Children in Need.

You will be bidding for a four-ball with Chris Evans and Lee Westwood. The match to be played at Sunningdale (date and time to be arranged).

The winner and partner will be caddied by Lee's usual caddy, they will have a Radio 2 DJ.

That would be awesome, but it will go for ALOT more money than I can afford to bid.

 

[griffgolf]

Now thats worth having a go at

 

[Alex1975]

That will be a great day out!

 

[Swinger]

That would be awesome.

Not sure I can put a worthy bid in!!

Got to go fo £15,000+ at least.

 

[Alex1975]

My wife tells me the Cricket one went this morning for £65k. Lee head that this morning and phoned Chris and said he would give up a day.

Another great day out for some rich guy.

I think there is a rumour that MikeH is bidding for it and if successful will donate it as first prize at the Blackmoor meet ......

Might only qualify as second prize.

This is the biggest problem with this sort of thing.
Fantastic if you've got 100k lying around waiting to be given to charity but to the ordinary man in the street its a complete waste of time.

 

[freddielong]

Another money can't buy prize going to the guy with the most money ?

 

[SharkAttack]

How does that work? Money can't buy, but you pay money for it

 

[HomerJSimpson]

Same old isn't it. Something real golfers can only dream about and will probably go to some 6 rounds a year merchant

 

[drawboy]

I know it is for a good cause but surely it should be re-named Auction for things ordinary people cannot possibly afford. Don't get me wrong 65k for a cricket day has in essence reached it's objective of raising the most ammount possible for C.I.N but why not have these wonderfull prizes as a raffle instead.Let's say £10.00 for a book of 10 tickets sold in august until november that way everyone gets a chance not just millionaires who can afford this sort of thing anytime they like anyway. I'm sorry but Radio 2 this smacks of eletism of the highest order.

 

[surefire]

Yes, its rubbish that lots of people who would love it won't win it, but it's very good for the charity, which I think is the main thing here.

Lee is doing it as a favour to the charity, not to the man in the street who would love to play with him.

 

[medwayjon]

Exactly what drawboy said pretty much.

I would advertise it and have a set period whereby people can enter (once only) by sending a premium sms.

 

[bigslice]

That would be awesome, but it will go for ALOT more money than I can afford to bid.

you could sell your cheap irons and make a profit

Bravo!

 

[Society_Fan]

Maybe they could do a lowest unique bid, but on a premium text. £2.50 a text with £2.25 going to comic relief?

 

[GB72]

If I had the money I would pay for that. Would actually enjoy the round with Chris Evans as much as Lee Westood.
