Looks like a great night. I will try and be there.

bobcar61

I'd love to go too and if I had plenty of money I'd love to bid for loads of the items but unfortunately I don't have the spare change.

I'd still love to go but I work Thursday evenings untill 10

UrbanSea

I won't be able to make it but good luck with it,some great things up for auction there.

blackiebest

Well, I have been thinking, maybe we could do a phone bidding service. I am really worried that we will not have enough people there on the night and when I post what things go for then you all will be saying 'would have bought that' etc so if anyone fancies anything on the list then pm me and I could bid for you. We could arrange for you to pick it up and pay after the auction.

Would this work? Anyone interested?

Dont want to see 1000ltr of oil going for a couple of hundred!

BTW the cairde website has not been updated for 2010 due to volcanic ash :-) You can catch most of this years lineup on their Facebook page. Website will be updated very soon.

tuppence

Is there a flyer for it? I havent seen anything for it, only this. Perhaps if there was something on the facebook page, (like a flyer on this event) then members here who have a facebook account can share the upcoming event with their friends. Might generate a bit of interest. You could get an idea of how many potentially coming. I am sure theres a fair bit of goodwill out there and alot of folk would like to see Cairde (as a not for profit arts organisation) continue on the Sligo scene.

Maybe the mods might let you do a bit of an online auction with the stuff taht doesnt clear for you?

magnumlady

Good idea tuppence, I mentioned it on twitter but no one replied. Facebook is a great place to mention it.....loads of Sligo pages on there.

Son Of A Vidic

love to go, but I'm at the wrong end of the country on business - the best of luck with it though.

Pete M.

Just thought I'd give this a bump as it is a very worthy cause and it's happening tonight.

As far as I know there is no facility for placing a bid online or by email, but you could always place bids through other folks you know who may be going.
If you contact Tara via phone or email (details on the website I think), then a bid can be arranged. Just let her know your top bid and obviously which item.

Hope it goes well as the Festival was a cracker last year.

magnumlady

I'm hoping to go.....well almost sure I'm going. Would love to meet other boardsies....otherwise I'll be Billy no mates (as usual).

bobcar61

Myself fozzle and magnumlady are here at the moment.good turnout.I'm currently surfing on fozzles Iphone,I offered to give her €10 but she declined

fozzle

Tight fecker, Magnumlady beat him with a bid of 12€

fozzle

Pete M.

How's the bidding going on the tour of the seanad with senator mcsharry?

What did you win?
And yes Bobcar, my bid is the winner on the iphone.

ML, Bobcar and Fozzle,

Big thanks for going along and supporting the auction. Frankly we were very disappointed with the overall turnout however amazingly 5k was raised for Cairde on the night! Wooottt!

Due to circumstances we failed to market the event properly and in the current climate I think people are really looking after the shillings. Possibly a Saturday afternoon might have been a better time to host the auction.

I will try and post up the winning bids on the list as soon as I get my hands on it.

I was not there as Mrs Best was very involved and I was babysitting however big thanks again and we hope to put on a great Parkfest later in the summer.

BB

PS. Did any of ye get any bargains?

magnumlady

I saw Mrs. Best but she was busy so I didn't get to talk to her.

I enjoyed the night, the auctioneer was funny...and Jimmy who was holding up the items was brilliant....especially when he fell through the 'work of art'.

I bid on a few things but got outbid. Was hoping to get the oil especially. I didn't stay until the end....bit late for me.

blackiebest

Think the 100ltr of oil went for €550. Sorry you did not get anything but again big thanks for attending and hope you enjoyed,

BB
