October: Countryside Alliance nationwide Memorabilia Auction: Have you got cash in the attic? In October, the Countryside Alliance will launch its national Memorabilia Auction to raise vital funds to maintain the vitality of its campaigns and to keep up political pressure. Country sports have a long and colourful history; with continued support they will also have an enduring and vibrant future. The pageantry, costume, equipment and finery that are all important to country sports are also very collectable and extremely useful so please sell what you don’t want or buy what you need. There could well be ‘cash in the attic’ gathering dust! The Countryside Alliance would like to collect any items old or new for the Memorabilia Auction to be held in each region during October. All you have to do is label your items and get them to your Regional Director, or in exceptional circumstances collection may be arranged.
