The Kintyre Forum

Kintyre branch of Cancer Research are holding a Promises Auction on Thursday 6 October in the Vic. Doors open at 6:45 for 7:30

You can bid on anything from a bag of tatties to an overnight all expenses trip to Gigha. Or for the parents how about a small donation for babysitting duties. Think I'll go for the hire of a digger for the day. See if I can't get a run in for my old banger! or maybe a tooth gem fitted by Ismay Duncan. 122 lots up for grabs all donated by locals. You can even bid to have your will drawn up.

Licensed bar refreshments and a lucky programme with the chance to win £50.00

Programmes can be bought at the door on the night or local shops

Yes - some cracking auctions here.

Bubbly unveiled, for real

Will it be a "live" turkey? All you guys have to do is be there to bid up- Great money-maker!
Bubbly will certainly be present to save his feathered friend
(Someone bring a camera)
He's wiley- He may send his friend the Bochan forward to bid for him. (Follow the most persistent bidder )

Must let Bubbly have the final bid, though. It would be 'cruel and unusual punishment' not to- for him and the bird

Davie, I was joking, sorry it didn't come over that well (about taking photos there, I think you'll know what I mean!). I know you're kept busy but it was great that this promise auction was posted on the site. I don't think anything like this would get the same fantastic local response if it was done in MK.

Meanwhile, I'd like the tablet, not had any since my ma made it, which must be 35 years or so ago!

If Sanyanya has a good week at the whelks, then he may be a formidable contender. The chances are though, that the Smokehouse owners will sneg the poor brute and stuff him with boned kippers and smoked 'Bochan' cheese, before displaying him in the window in Longrow. However, if bubbly carefully removes a few choice slates from the roof in the Roading, his feathered friend may regain its liberty. Too late for the herring though, as they all lie in state for the Trapper in the morning!

I did notice that one of the lots was a brace of plump pheasants, and immediately thought: 'I wonder if the gamekeeper realizes that Sanyanya is back to his old tricks?'
