The Red Lion Harvest Auction
The Red Lion Harvest Auction, Lenham
Last year we said “ We have a lot to live up to next year” after we raised a massive Five Grand, Well I have eaten my words, the generosity of people donating and buying amounted to a whopping £8000 – Can you believe it Eight Grand!!!
£1900 was raised by a consortium of Pub Regulars for the famous but sadly .... final jar of Reg Crumps Pickled Onions, the buyers of these are going to enjoy them by having a Cheese, pickle and port party to ensure we all get to have a taste of them.
The Auction again this year had an abundance of home cooked produce which ranged from Jams, Chutneys, Pies, Curries, Scotch Eggs, Cakes to name but a few and I thank all of you who went out of your way to make such fine food and indeed to all that dug deep into their pockets to buy this wonderful stuff, A frenzy was created for Mama Nash’s Pie which eventually sold for £85, £100 paid for my extra large Scotch Egg which got donated to The Elderly home in Harrietsham with thanks to Erik.
Again Lenham Storage, our biggest contributor done well with their contributions which lead to what seemed a mile long queue for the toilet rolls – some people were obviously very desperate excuse the pun! Thank you to Dave Close for arranging all the goodies which are very much appreciated!
£350 was raised for the quirky drawing kindly donated by Vic Reeves which I am proud to say is now up on the Red Lion’s wall.
All of us at the Red Lion make a massive effort each year to make the Harvest Auction a great night out for which we thank each and every one of you who worked hard on the evening to make it just that, a huge thank you goes to our Auctioneer Mr Jason Docherty, he does such a wonderful job getting the bids up and getting money out of everyone, so thank you!
The money this year will be going to Kent Air Ambulance £5000, Lenham Christmas Lights £2000 and £1000 to Lenham Cricket Club to help them finally raise their target to get the much needed electricity installed in the Pavilion.
People will never know just how grateful myself and Matt are to hold such a great event and indeed for the generosity and support that you all give to contribute to such a fun filled night out, if I have not said it loud enough THANK YOU ALL!!!
Next Year’s Auction will be held on Thursday 13th September at 7pm sharp and we do hope you will all join us again for the event of the year, and to end on that note all I will say is watch this space!!!
