Each year FJHRA has been holding a small scale auction at the annual AGM/Lunch to raise funds for the next season.

A few generous members have donated various prizes, and as Formula Junior has captivated such a world wide audience this year, we thought some of the Lots might be of interest to our members further afield.

If you are unable to attend in person, but are interested in bidding, then you are invited to leave an absentee bid with us before the Friday 21st November. This will of course be confidential, and the auctioneer can then factor it into the proceedings.

Our Lots to date are;

1. Eifelrennen 2008 Poster presented in a glass clip frame [600x420mm]
   
   
2. Eifelrennen 2008 Banner [2000 x 750mm]
   
   
3. FJHRA Golden Jubilee Polo Shirt signed by Michael Schumacher at Mugello 2008.  Presented framed
