A magnificent Auction of Promises took place at Brown's Hotel with everyone showing enthusiastic support for the indoor pool. An amazing selection of donated promises was auctioned. Every seat was sold – it was standing room only. The food and wine was good and Nick Crossley was on great form with his auctioneering technique. The single item which raised the most money was a meal for four in Start Point Lighthouse donated by Sir Geoffrey Newman which raised £1,100. The overall total raised was £6,520.50 – a splendid result.
The project still needs to raise over £70k so if you want to lend your support visit http://www.thedip.org.uk
