From a week’s fishing on the Ponoi in July to “money can’t buy” fishing on private beats; from a copy of “A River Runs Through It” signed by Brad Pitt to original works of art; the annual S&TA auction, its major fund-raising event, is now open for commission bidding online. And, because all the lots are donated, every penny raised goes directly to the S&TA.

The 42 (and counting!) lots are aimed to entice anglers, it is true, but within that remit there is plenty to placate the significant others in the family – such as, for example, a lunch party for six hosted by celebrity chef Prue Leith at her Cotswold home, or an overnight stay at Limewood House Hotel, recently listed in the Daily Telegraph among its choice of best country house hotels.

There is an eclectic and mouth-watering selection on offer with guide prices that start at just £30!  The auction itself takes place during the annual Dinner on October 6th – but you don’t have to attend the dinner in order to bid:  just click here to view the lots and place your commission bids online, by post or by telephone.   It is that simple.

And please don’t keep this to yourself.  The more bids we receive – the more money we raise.  Please send this link on to friends who you think may be interested in putting in their own bid or two – and help us make this our best auction ever!
