Paul Cunningham Nurses Auction Night.

NOVEMBER 8 is one of those dates for the diary.

If you’d like to help out a good cause with the added benefit of also picking up a bargain or three from local businesses who are also doing their own bit for charity, make sure you go along to the Paul Cunningham Nurses Charity Auction night at the The Marjal in Guardamar, where you will discover more than 50-lots awaiting your bids from Dinner for Two, though Christmas Gifts to Action Auction items such as SCUBA diving, parahawking, track days and pleasure flights!

The bright and sunny days of the Costa Blanca might fool you into thinking that this cannot be officially wintertime but it is! However, no matter what the season, don a wetsuit and you can SCUBA dive year round in the Mediterranean and Mar Menor without any difficulty. If you have never experienced the joy of being weightless while discovering the wonders of the underwater universe, then place a bid for the ‘Try a dive’ introductory day from Costa Blanca Diving, and you may find that you’ll be hooked on a whole new hobby to enjoy year round. More details on this and their other dives from cbdiving@hotmail.com. If you already dive, Max Scuba Diving offer a Scuba Dive on one of their regular trips, with more info from info@maxscubadiving.com.

If staying on dry land is more your thing but you fancy a quick adrenalin rush or maybe are looking for the Christmas gift for that person who has just about everything, a Race Day at Cartagena Race Track may be just the thing. For more details drop Steve a line at stevecoen@hotmail,co.uk and enter the world of Fernando, Jenson and Lewis, albeit just a fraction slower! www.circuitocartagena.com/idioma/eng/ 

Still got some adrenalin to spare, fear not because up for grabs is an opportunity to Paraglide with birds of pray! How cool is that! More info on this from Nick at doyouwanna@telefonica.net. And speaking of flying, Chris from Sol-aero has a much more sedate half hour pleasure flight on offer with more info from solaero@hotmail.co.uk.

While these star lots may not be for everyone, if you fancy taking it a little easier, La Herradura Restaurant in Los Montesinos have an auction lot of Dinner for two with Cava on a show night plus a tour of the premises with La Herradura Bread and a bottle of wine to take home! Photo Video Spain can turn your favourite photos into mock magazine covers, perfect for Christmas presents, while yours truly will be offering you your very own Quiz Night for family and friends plus there are stacks of other goodies such as Art, clothing, vouchers and fun items just waiting for your bids.
 
The man with the gavel is TKO’s Dave Christian who will be doing his utmost to entertain, inform and entice your bids on the night. Viewing from 1800-hrs with the Auction starting at 1900-hrs. Entrance is just €2.00 or €12.00 if you would like the buffet.
