BASC: Support BASC's centenary auction at Holts

Wednesday, 27 August 2008 12:00 AM

There is still time to support BASC's centenary fundraising appeal by donating a lot for the centenary auction at Holts in December.

This unique auction will include guns, shooting equipment and sporting memorabilia, all donated by BASC members and the shooting community.

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 or contact Simon Hamlyn on 01244 573043 or e-mail simon.hamlyn@basc.org.uk.

Director of operations, Simon Hamlyn, said: "Holts is 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
