AUCTION DIARY 2022
As the auctioneers may ne compelled by the imposition of Misgovernment and equally anti-enterprise Local Authority restrictions to delete or change fixtures and formats from traditional 'Live' to 'On-Line' derivatives, and then either reverse or re-impose their over-reactive lockdown on the obedient sectors of the economy, we will attempt to continually update the following auction calendar from one day to the next with the very latest intel.
Best advice for prospective vendors, bidders and voyeurs however has to be to pre-surf the various house websites for their most up to date intentions. For further strains of virus and more waves of infection could trigger newly imposed national, regional or even local economicv lockdowns.

Only efficient vaccine roll-out plus booster jabs for all without further delays may enable the traditional 'live' auction process with punters actually present at the point of sale to survive in an unregulated digital jungle. Do check however with auctioneers that even rescheduled sales are definitely going ahead, before incurring travelling costs. For even socially-distanced viewing by appointment arrangements may have to be changed at short notice. May the bid be with you! RH-E
