After dinner guests enjoyed a hilarious live auction conducted by comedian Fred MacAulay and enthusiastic bidding ensued in both the live and silent auctions. This very successful and enjoyable evening raised
in excess of £55,000 for the GWCT. Thanks must go to David MacRobert and his terrific committee for all of their efforts to make the event such a success, and to the dinner’s sponsors Turcan Connell, Chiene & Tait, Graham Mackinlay Gunmakers and Macleod Lettings for their generous support.
ver 65 highlanders gathered at The Storehouse, Evanton,
near Inverness for GWCTs most northerly charity auction. The catalogue included ‘money can’t buy’ lots – accessing enviable never-before-on-the- open-market salmon fishing, duck flighting and stalking. Chairman of 10 years and auctioneer Chris Swift created some additional excitement by providing the rather unique lot of ‘an evening’s beaver watching’ – and a bidding war ensued. Enormous thanks to our supporters for generously providing excellent lots, our sponsors Saffery Champness and CKD Galbraith, and our loyal members for attending and making the evening such a success. The total amount raised was over £19,000 towards the Trust’s work in Scotland.
