Folks,
At the Open Day on the Don on 24th of May there will be an auction of donated lots in aid of the River Don Trust. As the lots become available I'll be posting details on various forums of what's available.
The first, and one of the most significant, lots that is on offer is from one of our principal sponsors Orvis.
Orvis have generously provided a ZG Helios 9ft #4wt mid-flex for our auction in aid of the River Don Trust, it will be customised with "River Don Trust 2009". Details of the rod can be found here

I've used one of these and have to say that it is one of the nicest rods I've ever picked up, incredibly light and an absolute pleasure to fish with.
The auction winner will be getting a super rod
I already have an opening bid and can start us off at
£260.
I would like to think we might even manage to beat the rrp..... we will see, it's a unique rod.
If you would like to bid on the rod, please send me a PM via the forum (or email me at hamish@riverdon.org.uk) with your name and bid amount.
As the bids come in, I will update the current price.
Cheers
Hamish
