The Grand Criterion Promises Auction 2020

We need your Promises!

The Grand Criterion Promises Auction 2020 is now officially launched and we need your Promises so we can raise serious amounts of money to help keep us going into 2021.

You might be good at making or growing something special or perhaps you have a remarkable skill you can share? Perhaps you know someone who might donate a night out or a specific service? Maybe you have an item of value you would be pleased to donate?

Whatever it is we’d love to hear about it.

We already have over 40 Promised Lots. Among them are ...

  • Items of value include a vintage stage light and stand, antique silver, original art works, artists easel and materials.
  • Promises of hard graft in the garden and the home from seasoned professionals – hard-core pruning, cleaning, decorating.
  • Wonderful novelty Lots suitable for Christmas gifts – deliveries of gourmet food, a personal walking tour of the City, juggling lessons, a morning with Maisie the horse, Limericks for every member of your household!
  • Local businesses and organisations have made lovely offers too. A Night at Coventry Jazz for four people, a Bowls tutorial session from Three Spires Bowling, Fish and Chips from Gabriel’s, an outdoor photography sitting from R J Photographics.
