I will start the bidding and bid up to your maximum (ebay style) The number listed in RED is the OPENING BID amount. If you win I will contact you and you can then pay the club. Additionally if you are competing and can’t be in the LZ, let me know your maximum bid and I will act as your proctor to bid up to that amount.
Do NOT respond to this post with your bid! EMAIL ME!!! I will not be able to check my email at the event so if you want to bid, email me by 6pm May 17th.

There will also be two gliders auctioned live at the event during the award ceremony. Chip has posted pictures of one on the forum; the other is a Moyes GTR 175 World Beater donated by David Van Noppen (we hope to have good pictures posted soon).
