A fundraising auction for Patricia Avenue School came up trumps in more ways than one thanks to the generosity of donors and bidders. Patricia Avenue is a specialist school catering for students with special educational needs, based at the satellite unit at Te Awamutu College. They are fundraising for the school camp this month, and one of the ideas was to auction a signed and framed 2019 Rugby World Cup All Blacks squad jersey. The jersey had been donated by Hamilton Copier World director Steve Moulden and account manager Francois Rademan. Local man Scott Yarndley won the auction — then decided to run another auction and put the jersey back on the market.
