Guest auctioneer for special night!
We are delighted to announce that Paul Martin, of BBC2's Trust Me I'm A Dealer, will be our guest auctioneer at our very special Silver Jubilee Auction on Saturday November 28th.
Paul has been a friend of the charity since filming 'Flog It!' here last year and has kindly agreed to add some special star quality to our Auction which will revolve around some amazing 'Things That Money Can't Buy'!
The auction will be held at the historic and very beautiful Maids Head Hotel in the centre of Norwich, and will be jam-packed full of fantastic items and experiences. Many people have dug deep to donate prizes for the auction already, and on offer will be exclusive tours and experiences, fantastic horsey items, beautiful artwork and photographs and some amazing doodles, done by some of our celebrity friends especially for Redwings.
Paul Martin will be coming along to host our special auction!
We have gathered quite a collection of these over the last year so thanks to everyone who has already contributed…our doodling stars so far include Bill Bailey, Tony Robinson, Julian Clary and even Rolf Harris!
Paul is looking forward to the evening. “I have several horses myself so I really appreciate the work that Redwings does to help horses in need,” explains Paul. “The auction is a great chance to have fun, raise some money for Redwings plus pick up a brilliant auction lot. I’m really looking forward to it, as well as spending some time in Norfolk which is a lovely county.”
If you would like more information about coming along to the auction, or if you have something you would be willing to donate for us to sell, please get in touch with organiser Gemma Carnell on 01508 481015 or email gcarnell@redwings.co.uk. All proceeds raised from the auction will of course go directly to Redwings.
And don’t worry if you can’t make it to Norwich, there are loads of other ways you can join in the fun. If you have an auction lot you could donate then we would be very grateful, or why not join the celebs and ‘Do a Doodle for Redwings’? We’d love to see your efforts, simply do a doodle of a horse, pony, donkey or mule – perhaps you could base it on a fav pony from childhood or if not, why not try our Adoption Club stars for inspiration? Send your doodles to: Nicola Markwell, Redwings Horse Sanctuary, Hapton, Norwich, NR15 1SP, and don’t forget to include your name and address!
