You have conducted the auction at the Caulfield Cup Calcutta in an exemplary fashion for many years. You extract a pool of approx. $40,000 with very entertaining remarks and accurate auctioneering. In the opinion of most people at the Calcutta you are the finest auctioneer we have ever heard and there are many real estate and country people who attend the auction.

The Rural City of Ararat held its annual Blue Ribbon Ball last Friday and raised the final amount to secure the CT scanner for the Ararat and District hospital. A cheque of $30,000.00 was handed over to the President of East Grampians Health Services, Sally Philip who said that now have the fund too make the purchase so people will not have to travel to Ballarat or Geelong for treatment.
Its a great community ball and I have traveled back to my old home town for many years to conduct this auction.
