Sports lovers are always onto a winner with the Perth Silent Auction – and this year is no different.

Once again, generous businesses have rallied to the cause and with Christmas on the horizon bidders have no shortage of items to target.

The 2018 list is particular­ly appealing to golfers and football fans.

Not surprising­ly St Johnstone’s awardwinni­ng hospitalit­y for four match day package is generating interest and PPG Johnstone’s Paints are also offering fans a chance to enjoy the best seats in the house.

Two Saints fans could net hospitalit­y for the Perth club’s visit to Tynecastle thanks to the GLD Group.

Four tickets for Manchester United at Old Trafford have been gifted by George Malcolm and Sons, while Dundee Utd fans will also be interested in a couple of lots.

You could be teeing-up at some of the country’s finest courses in the New Year. Just take a look at what is going under the hammer.

Kingsbarns is an absolute gem, to the fore in any list of Scotland’s top 10 tracks. A four ball has been donated by the Cameron Motor Group Charitable Trust.

Or you could be taking to the tee at Archerfiel­d (Brewin Dolphin), Gleneagles (Wylie Recycling, Campbell Dallas), historic Bruntsfiel­d Links Golfing Society, Blairgowri­e, Pitreavie, Panmure, Pitlochry, Comrie, King James VI, Haggs Castle, Kirriemuir, Drumoig, Grantown on Spey and Spey Valley (Macdonald Hotels).

Carbon Financial have again put up a four ball for the Bill McLaren Golf Day at Blairgowri­e Golf Club on May 21, which will be attended by well-known figures from the world of rugby.

Crieff pro David Murchie has pitched in with golf lessons while regular supporters Noah’s Ark and Blairgowri­e pro Charles Dernie have thrown equipment into the mix.

With the excesses of the festive season looming the annual membership provided by Live Active Leisure will get you in shape while you could land various angling packages.

Award winning Perth Racecourse has generously offered up a fabulous VIP Raceday Experience for four valued at £1,000. It’s perfect for pals who enjoy a day at the races.

A day’s stalking (courtesy of I and H Brown), a guided tour of the Renault F1 headquarte­rs, karting at Crail and curling coaching from David Ramsay, clay pigeon shooting at Gleneagles, membership­s at tennis clubs in Perth and Coupar Angus and a host of other attractive lots are all worth a look.

The Silent Auction is a partnershi­p between Perth Rotary Club and the Perthshire Advertiser, teeing-up cash for deserving causes. So get your bids in now at www.perthsilen­tauction.co.uk.
