A tour of the iconic Lloyds of London building and meal for four in the city is just one of the prizes being offered at a charity auction for businesspeople in Marlborough this month.
The money-can’t-buy opportunity will be offered at the Marlborough Chamber of Commerce Olympic Jubilee Ball on Saturday, May 19.
Other prizes include:
- Golf for four followed by lunch
- Tickets to the Marlborough College gala performances and £160 towards a course at the summer school
- Two tickets to Wembley to watch the England autumn international
- John Lewis vouchers worth £250
- Marlborough Jazz Festival Stroller Tickets
- A year’s free advertising on Marlborough News Online, worth £100
- A portrait by the artist Yvonne Cannane
- A photography voucher for £149 from Peter Davies Photography
The black tie event is being held to mark passing of the Olympic torch through Marlborough on May 23 and the Queen’s diamond jubilee celebrations in June.
Ticket holders will enjoy a champagne reception, three course dinner, live music and a charity auction in aid of Marlborough-based Swift Medics.
Proceeds from the auction will be donated to Swift Medics, a charity of volunteer doctors from hospital and general practice who provide what is known as ‘pre-hospital emergency care’.
The Medics provide emergency care at the scene of serious road traffic accidents and other life threatening medical emergencies including falls from a height, serious burns and incidents where casualties are unconscious or trapped.
The event will be held on Saturday, May 19 from 7pm to 1am. Tickets are £40, available from Chamber president Paul Shimell at Specsavers or from committee member Effie Robins of Joules. Both shops are on High Street, near the town hall.
