If you live in the Northumbria area, and you are of a generous, kind, caring nature you can do me a favour and help raise money for the Red Cross too!
We're hosting this "Auction of Promises" at Styford Hall in Corbridge near Hexham on Sept 22nd. We've got promises such as an enclosure badge for 2 at Hexham Racecourse; a day visit to Blagdon estate with lunch in the pub and a visit to their working mine; fruit picking voucher; portrait of a child or pet; family ticket to Chesters Roman Fort; days salmon fishing with an expert - etc etc. I'm thinking birthday presents or early Christmas presents here! Most of our promises could not be bought outright!
The whole thing is being held in this lovely hall and there will be a buffet and a bar. The cost is £15pp then you bid for your favourite items. So not only do you get a brilliant night out, but you come back with bloody good presents for people too!
The reason I'm appealing to you lot is that we'd advertised this and sent out over 700 invites but only got 8 responses so far. To save it from being cancelled at a loss for us, we need more people to turn up. So tell your parents, friends, anyone you know that live in that area that fancy a night out with a difference. Or give me ideas on how to get more people going.
Many thanks Mumsnet!
