As before, Andrew's Auction and Patty Zipp's Lucky Draw were the main events of the evening.
Andrew Stevens did another terrific job as auctioneer, supported by Peter Breetzke and Chris Terry.
In addition to the "bargains" won at the Auction, many members went away with generous prizes collected by Patty from local firms, including BUCO, Pennypinchers and A N White.
John Keulder, as usual, took many superb photos of the events and some of these are shown below.

The amount raised for Hospice was R11 000 which beats the R6500 raised last year.

A big THANK YOU for all the donations.
