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.

Mazda Foundation sets new record!
Saturday, 26 October 2013
The Mazda Foundation set a new fundraising record of over 500k at their annual Ball at Crown last night. With the team at Peter Jones steering the event and anchored by Fox FM’s Hamish and Andy the crowd of near 800 enjoyed singing, dancing and fund raising galore.
New foundation chairman, Martin Benders was thrilled with the result and overwhelmed by the generosity of so many. His wife Julie was also delighted as Martin was top bidder for the Black Sea Pearls.
