Report
Attend a general auction, was well organised but felt it was been run for the benefit of the online bidders, as each time the line went down the auction was suspended. But I suppose that is the way most auctions are run today. As the building also houses the cattle auctions, it means that there is good facilities on site, and a cafe which does both hot and cold food, with plenty of seating.
