BIDDING TO BOOST BRIT OLYMPIC CHANCES

10 January 2001


Alain Baxter 7th Place in a World Cup slalom is something to celebrate! So why not do it in style?


Following the tremendous performances already this season by members of the British Ski Team, ex-team racers Konrad Bartelski and Graham Bell have pieced together a unique fundraising auction to be held at the world-famous Christie's.

The aim of the evening is to recognise the achievements of Britain's promising skiers and raise badly needed funds to help them prepare properly for the upcoming Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City.

The event will take place on Tuesday 13 February from 6.30pm-9pm - the day before Christie's auction of classic James Bond 007 memorabilia, which will be available for viewing. Numerous celebrities will be attending and Hello magazine will be covering the event.

Entrance will be £10 by invitation only. As well as a goodie bag on arrival containing more than this value, guests will also be given a raffle ticket with a chance to win a number of smaller prizes. In true 007 style, Bond girls and vodka martinis are rumoured to be on the menu.

To receive an invitation for this event please email your name and postal address to Adam Sullivan.
