Simply enter your details*& and send to admin@southtawton.devon.sch.uk before 3pm on Friday 3rd.

The final price paid for each lot is determined in the usual bid and counter bid manner with bids rising in £1 units. If yours is the final bid at 'whistle blowing' time the lot is yours and the cost may not even have reached your maximum offer.
