Look what I won...! Eventing geeks galore!

[jules89]

So last week my friend organized the Get Claire Walking fundraiser at Henley - dinner, dancing, etc

(phew far too much champagne!)

http://www.get-claire-walking.co.uk/

Anyway there was a silent auction there with lots of items that were donated very kindly (everything from toggi jumpers to signed photos from Simon Cowell/Oli T/Leona Lewis, holiday house, lessons with top riders etc)

What did I put my bid on and what did I win??




Wait, it's rather exciting






Mary King's XC bib from the 2004 Athens Olympics, signed by the 2004 GB team!!

how cool!

maybe just cool for me, an eventing geek, but special all the same

end of silly post now!

 

[kirstyhen]

[AutumnRose]

[Maloo]

What an amazing thing to own - so are you going to frame it??

 

[Chloe_GHE]

[sexyspev]

Wow that is an awsome thing to own... I am so so so jealous... hope you raised lots of money!!!

 

[jules89]

yes going to frame it just need to find a frame big enough!

I am glad I didn't look really silly posting that, noone in my household thinks it's anything special!

K the next thing on the agenda is a catwalk and fashion show scheduled for Jan at Newberry Racecourse, I would give you the FB link but mine is down!

Thats cool. I have just heard that I am the very lucky winner of the training session with Piggy French. We heard about this auction whilst in France & my Father (after a number of glasses of wine) put in a bid for me

Spoilt brat?? - yup

 

[Bossanova]

Oh wow- that is cool!!

 

[Chloe_GHE]

I think your mission for next season should be to try and get No 91 as your number and wear that bib instead of the BE one!

 

[jules89]

LOL Chloe if only I could and then pray and wish that I would then ride as well!

Joss you are so lucky, we were going to go for that but it went a bit too out of my price range

Ahh thats wicked!

 

[TableDancer]

Fantastic - lucky thing

 

[jules89]

maybe I should hang it in my lorry so each of us can touch it at the Aldon party before competing

 

[TableDancer]

I think by the sounds of the party that is a very bad idea - it would get ruined and/or stolen by some drunken bum

 

[MandyMoo]

wow

that will be worth a hell of a lot in a few years!! keep it safe
