Fe a t u r i n g :

WELCOME TO THE 19TH PRIOR WESTON SCHOOL & CHILDREN’S CENTRE AUCTION OF PROMISES Once again we have been (almost) overwhelmed by the enthusiasm everyone has put into offering and sourcing promises. Thank you! There are over 100 fantastic lots which have been divided into two separate auctions - a LIVE auction and a SILENT auction.

Since last year the PTA has funded wonderful new experiences and learning opportunities for our children. School trips have been free - including the Christmas theatre visits. We made sure that no child was excluded from the residential school journeys, just because their families can’t afford to pay for them. In 2015 we invested money in special classroom activities for all children like ‘Infinite Jest’ during book week and we also supported great social events for all like the Harvest Festival and the Lantern Parade..

Happy browsing and successful bidding!!

Silent Auction 13th June-23rd June ends at 8:45pm

Live Auction 23rd June 7.00 - 10.00pm

GENERAL RULES‘Prior Weston PTA’ makes no warranty or representation of any kind with respect to any items or services sold. Please inspect where possible.

Many images included in this catalogue are used to capture the spirit of the promise and are not images of the actual item. Please look at the items before you bid.

All items must be paid for in full before the buyer’s departure for the evening. Payment can be in cash or, preferably, cheque accompanied by a banker’s card. Unfortunately we cannot accept credit or debit cards.

Payment for the live and the silent auctions will be handled in two separate queues on the night. Please start writing out your cheque to ‘Prior Weston PTA’ as you queue. It helps the time pass.

Services and other intangible items will be delivered through private arrangement between buyer and donor, at their mutual convenience.

All sales are final and there will be no exchange or refund on items. Unless otherwise specified, or mutually agreed between buyer and donor, all auctioned services must be used within three months of the auction date.

HOW TO BIDLIVE AUCTION RULESIt is the bidder’s responsibility to ensure that the auctioneer sees their bid. The highest bidder acknowledged by the auctioneer shall be the purchaser. As each lot is sold, the auctioneer will ask the purchaser their bidding number. In the event of any dispute, the auctioneer’s decision shall be final. At the fall of the auctioneer’s gavel, title to the article passes to the highest bidder who thereupon assumes full risk and responsibility for the article.

SEALED BIDSIf you cannot be present at the live auction, you can leave a sealed bid. Write your name, address, phone number, child’s name and class followed by the lot number and brief description, together with the highest bid you are prepared to make. Put this in an envelope clearly marked ‘Sealed Bid’. Return this to a PTA member.

SILENT AUCTION RULES All those wishing to place a bid for a silent auction item will need to obtain their own unique bidding number from a member of the PTA. Bids are anonymous and only the bidding number is used during bidding. Silent auction promises will be displayed on a display board in the school hall. Bids are placed against each item in sequential order, each person out-bidding the last, until the close of the auction when the highest bid wins. You may place as many bids as you like on any one item provided you bid higher than the previous bidder.
