Fellow Old Boys, The Quins are looking to host a true auction and take bids well ahead of time for any items donated. In the past we simply sold raffle tickets to those in attendance. This mean a good deal of the donated items did not bring in as much as we expected. This new process will allow a larger group of people to be included in the process. That said, please let Oli, Frank or me know if you are willing and able to donate anything we can auction off.
