woodworking charity auction and open day

[richarnold]

Hi folks.
I thought it might be worth opening a new thread in general woodworking about our upcoming workshop open day in aid of Macmillan nurses.
For those of you who are not familiar with this event, it's a great social day out where you get to meet up with likeminded woodworkers, and hopefully take away some tools and raise some money for this worthy cause. This is primarily a hand tool event where folks donate anything woodworking related that they may not have a use for. all items are up for grabs with no fixed price. you just take what you want and make an anonymous donation of your own choice. The date for this event is June the 3rd and the workshop will be open between about 10am to 5pm.
We also run an on line auction for some special items, details of which you can find here.
macmillan-cancer-charity-openworkshop-day-t104774.html
There will be a BBQ running on the day, and all the usual refreshments.
The workshop address is Richard Arnold traditional joinery, Unit 7 Dallacre Farm, Wilbarston, Market Harborough, LE168FE.
MY CONTACT NUMBER IS 07734571526.
Cheers, Richard, and Kate

I think I'll wear exactly the same clothes as last year, just to confuse anyone trying to work out where I've been by stalking me on the Internet. But I'll be there!

It's looking mighty popular - Carry on this way and they'll have to change their name to MacMillion Nurse - Boom, boom!
Kid-related duties mean I can't be there, but I wish you the best of luck with the day. I'll send you a donation, if that's OK.

Greg

Hi folks.
We just wanted to say a huge thank you for everyone who supported this event.
After counting up all the pennies, and checking all the auction bids, the event has raised well over £4,500, and may well hit 5k.
We really do appreciate all the help and encouragement we have had over the last few weeks.
Cheers, Richard, and Kate.
