A day pass for a family (2 adults and up to 4 children) at Mottisfont in Hampshire, a National Trust romantic house and gallery set in beautiful riverside gardens.

A hands-on day in East Sussex for one, during which all stages of brewing beer from grain will be demonstrated: mashing, boiling, fermenting, bottling and drinking! Progress of the brew will be recorded with pictures and you will be invited to return for a tasting when the beer is ready. Previous winners of this lot have had a wonderful day with Andrew who made his first batch of home-brew over 40 years ago. 2023 date by agreement.

Lot 90 donated by Airflow, Guide Price £100, Minimum Bid £90
An Airflo Superflo Ridge 2.0 Power Taper Floating Line. The Power Taper does exactly what it says - puts the energy in the line to turn over any big fly or rig on even the fastest of rods. The addition of the Ridge 2.0 Tech makes it even easier to cast these heavy loads, and with less resistance in the guides, casts are going to go even farther than before. Choose from WF3 to WF9.
