2008 International Sheepdog Trials, Food Fair & Country Festival
4th - 6th Sept 2008 at Kinmel Park, St George, Abergele,Conwy
WELCOME to this Auction of Promises.
Local Auctioneer Glyn Owens will be bringing down the hammer on a host of promises in aid of this year's International Sheepdog Trials.
Glyn says that you don't need to worry about the bidding process - experience has taught him to recognise the difference between a bid and an itchy nose - but don't wave at anyone while the bidding is on.
When a bid is made on a promise an agreement is made between the bidder, the auctioneer and the donor.
Sealed bids will be accepted prior to the event by Sue Main
or Tel 01678530408
Our appreciation must go to everyone who has donated promises, those who will be generously bidding and everyone who has supported us in any way.
THANK YOU
We hope that you will enjoy the evening.
