Raising funds for our fantastic Hunt is a continual challenge that we all have a responsibility to support and help, so we hope that you will be generous with your bidding and enjoy the wonderful lots that you purchase. There are many exclusive and unique lots listed within this catalogue – many of which cannot be bought elsewhere. Alongside the Live Auction at the Castle, to be held on Sunday 16th February, we will be running an Online Auction – the lots for this are listed in the second half of this catalogue. This means we can keep the main auction shorter and more entertaining, whilst offering Lots to suit every budget and which may be of interest to a wider audience online. You can access the online auction from the hunt website www.berkeleyhunt.co.uk, it will end at 9pm on Monday 17th February. If you cannot join us at the Castle, but a lot in the Live Auction takes your fancy, you can e-mail the Lot number, description and your maximum bid to go on the “book” by Saturday 15th February – the auctioneer will take bids in the room and include bids on your behalf, either to your maximum or to the upper bid of the room. If you are successful, we will be in touch. A special thank you to Chris Terrett for agreeing to be the auctioneer for the Live Auction.
