3 Give your name, address and telephone number on each sheet of paper.
4 Your letter will be unopened until 7.30p.m. on Sunday, 11th September. This means that if you are away during the Festival you can still bid for any of these unique Lots.

6 A word of advice. Always bid an 'odd' figure. If, for example, you place a Bid for £240 you may be in danger of losing the Lot to someone who has bid £240.05p! Don't risk it!
