A big thank you to every bidder.
Congratulations to the winning bidders.
Note: We are planning on conducting another auction sometime after this one closes.
We have already received some donations of fishing equipment and we now used up all our available storage space.
If you have any items of fishing equipment that you no longer use and would like to donate them, please let us know by using the Contact Form, but hold on to them for the time being.
We will contact you when have have room to store your donated items.
Thank you.
Over several months TWAPS acquired several items of fishing equipment that have either been donated, or left on the bank (on TWAPS waters), found and have not been able to be returned to owners.
Therefore, during August and September 2024 the Committee held an auction selling these items to TWAPS Members for charity. In accordance with one of the donor’s wishes the chosen charity was the Great Ormond Street Hospital For Children (GOSH). We hope you agree this is a very worthy cause.
Below are images of the items that were in the auction, together with the winning bid (if any).
Although the auction is now closed you can of course still donate directly to GOSH.
If you have any queries, please use the TWAPS Website contact form.
Thank you once again to all those who bid and congratulations to the winning bidders.
