Community Auction Raises £2,600

The Bedales Community Auction has raised £2,600 which will go towards various school projects. This brings the total amount of funds raised this term for the school through the BPA to £4,600. Applications for this newly create fund will be discussed by a small committee representative of all members of the community in the Autumn Term.

Thank you SO MUCH to everyone who contributed through giving promises and other items, and of course bidding. In particular to Jane Goodger, Beth Garabet and Dennis Archer for all the hours they have spent collecting the lots, many of them so interesting and unusual! Special Thanks to Elliot Theis (Block 4) who developed the website and worked tirelessly and cheerfully with the BPA to create this auction - without all his creative energy and IT knowhow this simply wouldn't have happened! Now that the experiment has proved successful we look forward to even bigger ones in future.

And yes, the 6 eggs really did get bought for £21... pretty brilliant eggs :-)
