Auction of promises
13th November 2021, 7pm
Claverham Court Farm, Claverham
In aid of North Somerset Agricultural Society.
As we are now hopefully moving towards the other side of the pandemic, the North Somerset Agricultural Society is looking towards 2022 and the organisation of the North Somerset Show on 2nd May.
The pandemic has hit many businesses and the Society has been no exception. A huge reduction in income, of approximately 95% due to the restrictions put on mass gatherings. In addition to this the Society has no rateable value and therefore was not applicable for any grant support including the discretionary grant from the government.
We are aiming to run a very similar event to the 2019 Show, highlighting our industry as well as many industries from the local area. Not only have we had to cancel the North Somerset Show but other events, as well such as the 2020 Ploughing Match and our 2021 educational day (the Countryside Day) at which we host 2,500 primary school children on the showground to experience active farming and learn about agriculture and the countryside. This is the charitable aspect of the Society as we do not charge for the event.
With the Society’s finances as they are we have decided to organise this auction to both assist with the cash flow until the North Somerset Show and looking towards another Countryside Day in the near future.
We are hoping to have 20 tables of ten at a price of £10 per head. We are hoping to get each table sponsored at a cost of £100. Just as importantly we are looking for people to donate promises. This can vary from a baby-sitting voucher to holiday home. Anything that is slightly different and will create interest.
