Fundraising Auction
For the fourth successive year, Christie's, South Kensington, are hosting a fundraising auction & champagne reception for the British Snowsports teams on 01 March at 6:30pm. The auction will also include a pre-sale private viewing of the famous annual Ski Poster sale.

The event started four years ago to help raise funds for the National Alpine Ski Team athletes who were struggling for finance to stay competing at Word Cup level. As a result of these auctions there have been some amazing results from our athletes partly due to the money raised, but mainly because they feel they have support from people back home.

Big prizes, big night
Channel 4 are filming the event, Hello Magazine & host of other media are to attend. Various celebrities have turned up on the night; including Billy Zane, Britt Eckland, Damon Hill, Martin Offiah, Paul Nichols and Ralf Little to name a few, plus Veuve Clicquot & Bombay Sapphire sponsor the reception.

If you wish to contribute auction lots or products, or to buy a ticket (there are about 150 left) then please contact Dan Hardie. Donations for each ticket are £30, cheques should be made payable to 'Christies Ski Auction Fund', and sent to Dan Hardie, Christies Ski Auction, 23 Aster Way, Burbage, Hinckley, Leics LE10 2UQ

Further information can be found on the Snow Awards website. The auction brochure can be viewed here in .pdf format (2Mg)
