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.

Hobart “tips in” for Heart Foundation
Monday, 1 July 2013
Jane and I attended the Heart Foundation of Tasmania annual Ball at Wrest Point last Saturday night. 500 people attended and generously paid for items such as fine wine from the Tassie region and trips to the Blue Mountains and the Federal Group’s Luxury resort Sapphire on the Freycinet Coast to name a few. They also supported the pledge for DNA testing for cardiac problems in young children. Over 100 pledges were received which was terrific. Congratulations to Graeme, Melita and the team at the Heart Foundation who did a wonderful job staging the event.
We especially want to thank our v good friends and sponsors Tim and Jill Johnstone and all the team at Edward Windsor Real Estate who looked after us beautifully.
