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.

An auction at a fund raising dinner can be just an auction or it can also be part of the entertainment! You succeed in making it both an auction that brings in the money and entertaining at the same time, both for those who were bidding so spiritedly and also for the rest of the audience.

Women @ the Alfred…..Great lunch at Crown!
Friday, 17 August 2012
The Women @ the Alfred committee did it again. The committee paid for nine of the best male friends to join them for a fundraising lunch today at crown.
Hosted by Seven’s Sandy Roberts many got in the action paying plenty for the auction items. Alan Joyce CEO of Qantas who had donated 2 business class return airfare then upped it to First Class with a prompt from Sandy and Max Grundman “The Krosno King” chewing his ear.
Over 600 people attended the free lunch and raised just under 500k to support men’s health at the Alfred. Congratulations to Carolyn Stubbs and her committee for staging a very special lunch.
