Fly Swap Auction

[Teifi-Terrorist]

Some fantastic contributions were made and received for the recent fly swap that took place on the forum. It was decided that we would dress a few extra and auction them off to a good cause - Charles Jardine's London Marathon run in aid of Fishing4Schools was chosen. Anyway, we had a really nice wheatley fly box donated too by Chrisc (thanks again for that) and here's what's up for grabs:









The auction will end at 9pm on Friday night (24th April). I have the auction running in a few areas to maximise the exposure of the donation and will track the best I can - as such, please don't wait until last minute to bid, as I may miss it and won't be able to act on it.

We currently have an opening bid of £60, which is a nice start. However, with 32 flies in total and a lovely box we're all hoping for a bit more, of course.

Thanks and please give generously to what is essentially the future of our sport.

TT.

Awesome, thanks a lot ChrisC. |\

I have it one three locations on facebook and then am about to put it on the flyforum. Will update them all as best I can and keep you posted.

Thanks again,

TT.

Sorry to tell you Chris, but you're getting your box back!

There was no further interest, which surprised me. I thought it would have gone a little higher. Anyway, thanks a lot for the bid - please PM me your address and I'll get it in the post for you.

Tight lines,

TT.

Made the payment, £70 plus gift aid brought our total to £87.50:>

I mentioned the forum name and the fly swap auction in the text.

Thanks to all involved and the encouragement for a beginner to participate.

Looking forward to the next time.

I've got a fly box going for the next tie off, if anyone is interested? I can't seem to sell it or give it away!!|\
