A massive thankyou to everyone who bid online - if you want any of these things now, please come along to St Magnus Church Hall on Saturday 23rd May between the hours of 10AM and 4PM.  And have a cup of tea and a cake while you're there!

This is the Silent Auction as featured in the Shetland Times and on Radio Shetland.  As with all Silent Auctions, no-one will know who the winning bidder is until the close of the auction.  This adds spice to the bidding for those must-have prizes.

You can bid on the items being auctioned directly through the website by clicking on the link for the chosen item and completing the email with your bid amount.  Please note that you really should be in Shetland to take advantage of this auction as we're not able to post stuff overseas and many lots just won't make sense!

If the links don't work for you, please send an email to newsletter@stmagnus.org.uk quoting the lot number and your bid...
