CHRISTIES CHARITY AUCTION A HUGE SUCCESS

28 February 2004


Christies Auction for Snowsports GB team
Last week Christies auction house hosted a night to raise money for our British racers. The Snowsports GB team was out in force, meeting and greeting the many guests.

It was a hugely successful evening, raising around £50K, which is an amazing injection of cash for a sport that does not enjoy the same sponsorship as more mainstream activities. A further £2k was raised by the Ski Club of Great Britain Raffle.
