SIR, The Rotary Club of Monmouth held a very successful Autumn auction at the Royal Oak last Friday (24th October). It was a wonderful evening made special by auctioneer Rob Escott, supported at times by his young helper Minnie who was clearly learning the trade at an early age. Thanks to the support of many businesses in Monmouth, the customers and landlord of the Royal Oak and members of the public and the Rotary Club that attended, £1750 was raised to be shared between the Wales Air Ambulance and Macmillan Cancer Support. For details of the companies that donated, please visit our facebook page or web site at http://www.rotary-ribi.org/clubs/homepage.php?ClubID=635">www.rotary-ribi.org/clubs/homepage.php?ClubID=635 Bob Handley (Rotary Club president)
