ÇALIŞ CARNIVAL CHARITY PROMISES AUCTION
4 JUNE 2008
Following the huge success of our first “ Promises” Auction last year, the Çaliş Carnival Committee are holding another event during Carnival Week which we hope will be even bigger and better - and help raise even more money for the deprived and disadvantaged children in the Calis/Fethiye area.
We raised over 8,000 lira for the children’s charities last time and, as this will be the main fundraising event of Carnival Week, we are going all out to beat this amount with the help of the generosity of our great supporters.
Our Auctioneer for the night, David “Dickie Dangler” Dickinson, will set up his podium in front of the Nicholas Homes building (who have kindly allowed us to use their forecourt) midway on Çaliş seafront on the evening of Wednesday 4 June and the event which starts at 7.30 pm will incorporate both the Bambu and the Nil Bars so there will be lots of room for bidders!
There will be loads of great bargains to be had from holiday accommodation both in Turkey and UK, restaurant meals and aromatherapy and holistic massage to yacht sailing, portrait painting, property management and patio furniture.
In addition we are very pleased to announce that we will be auctioning some signed football and rugby photographs. These include one of Liverpool’s captain Steven Gerrard lifting the European Cup, Gordon Banks and Pele at the England v Brazil 1970 World Cup Final and Martin Johnson lifting the cup for the England Rugby team. All photographs come with photographic proof and certificates of authenticity
For those of you who are unable to attend the auction (but try not to miss it as it will be a great night), you will again be able to make commission bids by e-mailing us through the Carnival website www.caliscarnival.com and we will advise you of any reserves in advance. Just let us know your starting bid and the highest amount that you want to bid up to and our auctioneer will place bids on your behalf up to your maximum amount. This bidding facility closes at midnight on 3 June (Turkish time).
If anyone out there would like to pledge us a "Promise" for the auction - no matter how big or small - we would be extremely grateful and you can contact us through the “contact us" page of our website.

Here are the details for bidding, both for those in the Calis area and for those bidding online.
Those who are able to attend on the night and wish to make bids, will be asked to complete a form on arrival at the Bambu and Nil Restaurant giving your name address and contact details You will then be provided with a "Bidding Number" card as in UK auctions. This makes it easier both for the auctioneer and for administering the winning bids. Money will be collected on the night where possible, "Promises" issued and official receipts given. For those unable to pay on the night, payment will be required within 7 days of the close of auction or the item will be withdrawn. In these cases the "Promise" will not be issued until the payment is received.
For those who are not in Calis for the auction, here are the instructions for placing commission bids online and how we will deal with winning bids and collect payment from those in UK.
Go to the contact us page on our website www.caliscarnival.com and send us an e-mail at info@caliscarnival.com (you can do this anyway from hotmail etc without visiting the site).
Advise us what you are bidding on and how much you are prepared to bid up to and our auctioneer will bid on your behalf up to your maximum bid - just like a real auction or on e-bay. Bids will be accepted up to 12 midnight Turkish time ( 10.00 pm English time) on the night of Tuesday 3 June when this facility will close.
If you are a winning bidder we will e-mail you the next day and advise how much the item has cost you. It will not necessarily be your maximum bid.
Although the Carnival Committee has a bank account here in Fethiye which is being overseen and audited by FETAV and Fethiye Belediye, we wish to avoid you having to pay additional money transfer costs to this account. We will therefore give you bank account details to pay the money into in UK. In the meantime here in Turkey, the item will be paid for on your behalf and receipts issued. If we do not receive payment into the UK account from you within 7 days of the close of auction, the bid will be void and any money paid by us will be reclaimed from the carnival committee account.
You will receive a copy of your "Promise" signed by the Promisor by e-mail giving full contact details of how to contact them and how to claim your promise as well as a receipt for your payment once the funds have cleared through the UK bank account. A hard copy of the “Promise” will also be sent to you in England by the next supporter who is returning to UK.
I hope that this clarifies the bidding system.
I must say that the Calis Carnival Committee are totally overwhelmed at the generosity of our Promisors and that new "Promises" are coming in daily (and we will gladly accept more ). I will try to post an updated list of the Promises every few days up to the day of the auction so please keep checking our website and the forums. All e-mails to the site will be dealt with daily.
The event which is the main fundraising event of Carnival Week should be a really good night and we hope to raise lots of money for the chosen Carnival charities - deprived and disadvantaged children in the Calis/Fethiye area.
We really welcome your support as we cannot do this without you/
We also hope that those of you in the area will visit Calis on Carnival Day Saturday 7 June to enjoy some of the great events that are taking place on this, the first ever, Calis Carnival!
