The Fête Grand Auction - tomorrow
The Fête Grand Auction is all ready to go and has launched earlier today (5pm). It will conclude at 12pm on Saturday.
We are delighted that the Summer Fête has returned to Pilgrims'.
As in past years, the day will include a grand auction, with ALL proceeds going to charities chosen by the boys: Winchester Youth Counselling, which offers therapy and mental health support; Stay at School, which supports education in remote and impoverished regions in Nepal; Street Reach, a charity working with young people in Winchester and the surrounding areas; No Limits, a charity offering free and confidential information, advocacy and support to children and young people in Hampshire.
THE AUCTION WENT LIVE AT 5PM ON FRIDAY 23 JUNE AND CONCLUDES AT 1PM ON SATURDAY 24 JUNE.
So take some time at the Fête to come to the Pilgrims' Hall and view the lots, find calm and the unexpected, enjoy frisson and camaraderie, and bid generously on everything so kindly donated by parents and friends of the school. We have over 70 lots, including Joe Marchant's signed rugby boots, a night at The Grosvenor Hotel, T20 tickets and Joe Weatherly's signed Hampshire County Cricket shirt, a vintage Beano and a vintage whisky; and off-roading in a Vass Technology electric Land Rover.
