The countdown is officially on! The online bidding for the Richmond Canoe Club Christmas Auction is entering its final hours.

As we get ready to celebrate 2025, we have one final push to make this year’s fundraising efforts a success. Whether you have been eyeing a specific prize or just want to support the club, now is the time to act.

Why We Are Fundraising

This isn’t just about fun prizes; it’s about the future of our paddlers. All proceeds from this auction and the “Buy Now” items are going directly towards refreshing our fleet and kit.

  • The Goal: To get more people into kayaking.
  • The Cost: A single new boat costs between £2,000 and £3,000.
  • The Status: We are currently at 37% of our fundraising goal (£916 raised of £2,500).

We have a gap to close in these final 12 hours to hit that £2,500 target, and we need your help to get there!

How You Can Help Right Now

  1. Bid on an Item: Check the auction list one last time and place your winning bid before the timer hits zero.
  2. Donate Directly: If you don’t see an item you want but still want to support the fleet refresh, you can use the “Donate” button. Every contribution, little or large, gets us closer to purchasing a new boat.

The clock is ticking—let’s finish the year strong!
