Perth Silent Auction is a sporting dream

-

Sports lovers are chasing winners in the Perth Silent Auction.

The final whistle will sound tomorrow morning, with the first lot being sold at 10am in the annual fundraiser teed-up by the Rotary Club of Perth in tandem with the team at the Perthshire Advertiser.

More than 400 lots go under the virtual hammer, one after the other, and the winners will be the Cornhill Macmillan Cancer Centre in Perth, My Name’5 Doddie Foundation and lots of local good causes.

Scotland rugby legend Doddie Weir’s determinat­ion to support much-needed research and support for sufferers after being diagnosed with Motor Neuron Disease has attracted support from far beyond the oval ball game and his homeland.

There’s a number of Doddie memorabili­a up for grabs.

And there’s still time to get your bids in for a huge range of sporting lots.

If golf is your game, take your pick from Gleneagles, Blairgowri­e, Bruntsfiel­d, Archerfiel­d Links, Elie, King James VI, Alyth, Panmure, Drumoig, Spey Valley, Lundin, Haggs Castle, Pitreavie, Torwoodlee, Pitlochry, Murrayshal­l,

Comrie, Kirriemuir, Strathmore, Cupar, The Fairmont St Andrews and Crieff.

If you need to stock up on golf balls for next season, this is definitely the place to reload.

Fancy a day out at the football? Well, you can weigh in with bids for award winning hospitalit­y at St Johnstone, Hearts v Rangers, Celtic v Hibs, or land tickets for Dundee United or Man Utd v Burnley at Old Trafford.

How about a VIP track day at the popular Perth Racecourse?

Or if the great outdoors is your bag, fancy a spot of angling, season tickets for

Blair Internatio­nal Horse Trials, archery, sailing at Loch Tummel, clay pigeon shooting or stalking on a Highland estate?

The Silent Auction has everything from shooting pool to virtual golf, tackling a climbing wall, outdoor gear, tennis club membership, a signed Andy Murray Davis Cup shirt and Live Active Leisure membership.

There really is something for everyone but be sure to act quickly.

So log in now at the website www. perthsilen­tauction.co.uk and track your bids before tomorrow’s fundraiser moves into top gear.
