The Leading to London fundraiser is just over a week away and it’s looks like being a big night for everyone. Tickets have sold out and next Friday night (29th) everyone will be making their way to the Crowne Plaza Norwest, Sydney for an evening of good food, good wine and good company as they dance the night away.
Julia Gillard will be attending the evening and awarding prizes to the best dressed (kindly sponsored by Musto) and Australia’s top riders will be there to spend some time on the couch chatting to everyone.
There are some fantastic items in the Main Auction of the night including the following:
A Bates saddle of your choice up to the value of $3595
The V8 super car weekend for 2 Donated by Tekno Auto Sports (The Webb family)
A painting of choice to the value of $5000 By Anwen Keeling
A Seiko sports watch value $1200 Donated by John Pittard.
Dinner with Brett Davey and George Sheridan!
A cow from Giddiup – yes that’s right we said a cow. We’re not sure if it comes with a bell or freezer bags!
Some lucky bidder will be having dinner with George Sheridan (above) and Brett Davey
Then there is a Silent Auction with over 30 items up for grabs and having got your head around those two Auctions there will also be a Reverse Auction involving balloons, table numbers and lots of luck where the prize for the winning table will be dinner for ten in your own home.
There will be photo opportunities on the podium from the Sydney Olympics for $10 a disc along with various other ‘on the spur of the moment’ moments – we are eventers after all. There is one thing for sure this will not be a boring evening!
Leaping to London will be a night for people to celebrate with those who have made the team and acknowledge those who didn’t make the team this time. Everyone will be embracing the Olympic spirit and enjoying themselves and we look forward to showing you some great photos from this very special night.
