Barts Bash AuctionSaturday night an Auction was held at Weymouth Sailing Club to raise funds for Barts Bash. With 80 tickets pre-booked we knew we were in for a good night. The evening kicked off with a fantastic BBQ full of meat, salad and all things yummy. There was a whole table of cakes which were supplied by various club members for those attending to delve into! The evening consisted of a written auction with items varying from babysitting to sailing with some of the Olympic and Paralympic British sailing team. The Auction item that raised the most money was an offer from Tim Anderton from the Andrew Simpson Sailing Foundation offering some race training with a top bid of ¬£140 from a club memberThere was also a raffle and various fete tables, with prizes including sailing kit, wine, and a teddy.
