You will have a short period in which to view the lots commencing at 7:30pm. View the lots carefully before bidding as once you win, you own it. The lot area will sectioned off and we ask that everyone remain behind the sectioned off area at all times, with the exception of the viewing period. Lots will only be dispersed at the end of the auction. This means you will need to remain until the end and be patient to collect your winning lots.
