After the tour the party will have a drink with Lady Arran; discuss questions about the history of Castle Hill.

3 Give your name, address and telephone number on each sheet of paper.

4 Your letter will be unopened until 8.00p.m. on Sunday, 12th September. This means that if you are away during the Festival you can still bid for any of these unique Lots.

5 Remember it does not matter whether your bid is the last bid or the first. All that matters is that it is the highest.

6 A word of advice. Always bid an 'odd' figure. If, for example, you place a Bid for £210 you may be in danger of losing the Lot to someone who has bid £210.05p! Don't risk it!
