This has been a very busy month in our calendar, our annual auction was once again a huge success with very few withdrawn lots and prices were very strong over a range of items. We hosted a number of Australian guests and they seemed to be very impressed with the auction and the quality of items, they also bought quite a bit! The amount of work required to make this event happen is enormous and I would like to take this opportunity to thank all those involved, the auction ran like a swiss watch and we were all well fed and watered by the kitchen staff. On the weekend of the 24th and 25th a group of us will be attending the Christchurch gun show and visiting local museums and places of interest. I’m sure we will have some interesting stories and photos to share at the August meeting. Because of the very busy schedule and my trip to Christchurch this newsletter is smaller than usual, posting deadlines mean that a full auction report and a write up of our trip will have to wait till the August newsletter.
