Auction of Promises and Fix-its

Cheltenham Samaritans, as one of the Mayor's Charities, held a highly successful Auction of Promises at Sacred Hearts Church Hall, Moorend Road, Cheltenham on Friday 4 September 2009 raising over £3,500 to be shared between the four charities.

The mayor, Lloyd Surgenor, and his wife were joined by over seventy people who enjoyed a light meal and a glass of wine before the formal proceedings got underway.
