Charity Auction - You don't want to miss this!!!

[Richard Findley]

Hi all,

As I'm sure you are aware, we recently had a little cmpetition on UKW (Lathes) Forum. The beginner's prize was a day tuition with me. Loz however lives in Ireland and doesn't feel able to come over for just a day tuition but has offered his prize in a Charity Auction. The highest bidder takes it!!

I have selected a charity: LOROS, which is a local hospice charity that does some really great work here in Leicestershire. Take a look at their site: http://www.loros.co.uk/

Bids will be via PM to me please. The auction will be open until Mid-day on Sat 19th Sept, this gives 2 weeks for everyone to see it and make a bid.

If you would like to find out about me and my lessons then my website is http://www.turnersworkshop.co.uk/tuition.html if you want to take a look.

Good luck to all. Any questions please make a post!!

Cheers,

Richard

I've already had a day's training with Richard and he is a good teacher.
I can also vouch for the work this type of hospice does - St Margaret's in Taunton looked after my mother-in-law brilliantly while she slipped away with cancer...

Bid up people!

Thanks for your support guys.

The first bid is in already. We have £30, do I hear £40?

Cheers,

Richard
