Hippo's will be auctioned to raise funds for ABF The Soldiers' Charity
Hippo Farewell Gala Dinner - 21st May 2011 - Time 7.30pm
The fibreglass sculptures that caused such a stir throughout the county last year and cost a staggering £37,000 plus are just three months away from going under the auctioneers hammer. There will be a chance to win a hippo for £10!
Joy Everett said, “We’ve decided to add a bit of fun to the event with a sealed £10 draw. The lucky winner of this will also walk away with a Hippo – but for the cost of just £10.
the Hippos will be on show for one last time at Rutland County Museum throughout April”
Organisers of the event, raising money for the ABF The Soldiers' Charity and Arts for Rutland (to support local artists?), expect a sell-out and are advising purchasing your tickets sooner rather than later to avoid disappointment.
The auction, hosted by TV star Julia Bradbury, takes place on Saturday May 21st at 7.30pm, as part of a Gala Dinner (5 piece band and 3 course meal) in the Officer’s Mess at St. George’s Barracks, North Luffenham.
Tickets cost £35 per person and include pre-dinner drinks and wine on the table. Tables of 10 are available if you are planning on bringing a group.
