The River Dee Trust needs help to be able to meet our aims and continue looking after the Dee and the surrounding area, for many years to come. Therefore we are holding an auction to raise funds for the restoration work that it undertakes on the River Dee.  The auction has 14 premier lots which are outlined in a brochure (click here to view as pdf or here to view as online catalogue; alternatively, contact the River Office to request a hard copy).  

You can bid on a lot by submitting a sealed bid by 29^th February (submission form) or by attending our final event in London on the evening of Thursday 1^st March 2012 where all lots will “go under the hammer”.

Our London event is being held at the Savile Club, 69 Brook St, Mayfair, W1K 4ER from 6.30 to 8 pm. We are delighted to confirm that Fiona Armstrong will be guest speaker at this event and that the auction will be conducted by Bernard Williams of Christie's. Attendance is free and there will be a supply of whisky and canapés. All we request is that you let us know if you will be attending prior to the event (please inform the River Office, 013398 80411, info@riverdee.org by Friday 24^th February). However, if you cannot make the event you can still bid on a lot by placing a telephone bid on the evening or by sending us a sealed bid (see brochure for further information).
