Charity auction funds Warkworth A&P Show

 

A&P president Mark Macky  is expecting some spirited bidding for the private dinner party prepared by chef Mark Townsend, which is just one of the many items that will go under the hammer on the night.


Technology will play a part in a major fundraising auction being held at the Bridgehouse in Warkworth on April 21.

Principal sponsors of the Warkworth A&P Lifestyle Show, Bayleys in the North, are organising the event in the run-up to next year’s 150-year celebration.

Bayleys director Mark Macky says a silent auction app on smart phones will be available so that people can bid even if they are not in the room.

More than 15 items will go under the hammer in the live auction, while a further 50 items will be sold in the silent auction.

One of the major items will be a dinner for 10 people, which iCater chef Mark Townsend will prepare at the winner’s home, with a case of wine and all groceries included.

There will also be the opportunity to bid for the use of a corporate box at Eden Park for an ITM Cup game, an iPhone 6 from Vodafone and a $1000 security system from Insite Security.

The auction will be held in the back bar, starting at 5pm.
