The 'Turkey' Auction
Every Christmas The Central Mart at St Johns, auction a Turkey supplied
by Kenny Sloane. The proceeds are usually split between 2 charities.
This year it was Macmillan and ourselves. The Turkey is bought then put
back up for auction again several times to raise as much as possible.
Thank you to all at the Mart for their support and to the Turkey who did
not die in vain!!
