Phil Tufnell will be the guest speaker at the City lunch to be held on 25 April 2025. We will be auctioning, at the Ball on 14 September, the right to have him sat on your table for the afternoon at the City lunch

The purpose of this note is to give the whole club the opportunity to make a bid for this prize.

The bidding at the Ball will start at the highest bid received beforehand. All previous bidders will be able to participate in the auction, along with all Ball attendees. If bidders are not able to attend the Ball, they may appoint a proxy to bid on their behalf. Anyone who needs help identifying a suitable proxy can contact John Woollhead

As I am sure you all know Phil Tufnell is a renowned England cricketer, regular member of the Test Match Special team and will make a very entertaining lunch guest.

The name of any bidder will be treated in the strictest confidence and for the avoidance of doubt any bid does not include the cost of tickets to the City Lunch

In the period between now and the Ball any bidder, who is outbid, will be given the opportunity to raise their bid should they so wish.

The highest bid received so far is £1,000. If you wish to bid in excess of this amount please email johnwoollhead61@gmail.com
