Many of you will have seen, and no doubt admired, the display board which has been on show at the WUSA table and was first prize in the raffle at last night's Acoustic Band Night.

For those of you who have not seen it, the board measures approx 40" x 29" and features a team photo of this season's squad surrounded by 18 separate photos featuring individual members of the squad.  All but two of these individual photos have been autographed by the players concerned.  All are in full colour.

I was the winner of this prize last night but have nowhere to display this board which would remotely do justice to all the time and effort which have obviously been put in to making it.

Patsy has told me that there has been a great deal of interest from fans in winning this item and I have therefore decided to auction it via this forum.  It would make a wonderful present for any young Wings supporter or would be a great item to have for any collector of Wings memorabilia.

I do not wish to benefit financially from this item so whatever the amount of the winning bid, I intend to retain just £2, which was the cost of the raffle tickets which won it, with the rest of the money being donated to the Help The Heroes collection at the Farnborough game on April 9.

All bids should be submitted to me by PM.  Bidders should show their maximum bids.  The deadline for bids will be 6pm next Sunday,3 April.  I will try to update the amount of the leading bid on here each day (the bidder's name will not be shown).  The bid I will accept as the winner will be a figure from the person with the highest maximum bid which is £1 above the next highest maximum bid (hope that makes sense).

It should be noted that the winning bidder will need to visit my house in Bexleyheath armed with his/her cash to collect the board at some agreed time before the Farnborough game in order that the donation to the charity can be made on the day.

If anyone has any queries about any of this, they can post them on this thread or PM me.  Any raised today I will answer tonight after I return from Chelmsford.
