If that does happen, simple add a new and higher bid on the form. When bidding stops, the highest bidder will be announced.

Main Auction Items

How does it work? – These items will be auctioned during the charity dinner on Friday night.

If you cannot attend just write out the amount you want to bid and give it to a RISC Official and they will bid on your behalf on the night.
