BASC looking for lots of support at its centenary auction

Monday, 31 March 2008 12:00 AM

Top auction house Holts will be holding a special auction to mark BASC's centenary in December this year.

This unique auction will include guns, shooting equipment and sporting memorabilia, all donated by BASC members and the shooting community. It will be a major part of BASC's centenary fundraising plans, which also include a centenary history book and a range of exclusive merchandise.

If you would like to support BASC's vital work to protect shooting sports through donating an auction lot, please call Holts on 01485 542822 mentioning the BASC centenary auction or e-mail sue@holtandcompany.co.uk.

Director of operations, Simon Hamlyn, said: "Holts are generously waiving the usual seller's premium, so BASC will receive the full price of everything sold. This is a great opportunity for you to make a really meaningful donation to the future of shooting sports."

ENDS

For more information please contact the BASC press office on 01244 573031
