SOROPTIMISTS SAY FLOG IT!

Rugby Soroptimists helped raise over £1,800 at a packed ‘Antiques Gala in aid of The NSPCC’. Local celebrity auctioneer and TV presenter, David Barby, hosted the event, packing the stunning Great Hall at Bilton Grange for an evening of ‘fun’draising'.

David gave a fantastic, animated and, at times, hilarious talk on the subject of antiques; drawing on his extensive knowledge from ‘life in the trade’ and his own personal experiences as a collector and, after a grand supper, David auctioned a diverse catalogue of donated ‘antiques’ to a captivated audience.

Everyone present entered into the spirit of the event with great enthusiasm and, at times, immense generosity; ensuring that every ‘lot’ - from butter dish to oil painting - was given a new home. And through David’s entertaining and charismatic style of persuading people to part with their cash the NSPCC benefited.
