For any new members, or our many older members with short term memory loss issues, Charlton Life and Bromley Addicks have been running a series of auctions to raise money for Club causes.
So far we have raised over £5,000 which has gone towards new mini-buses for the Academy, the Young Addicks Xmas Party, the Upbeats Downs Syndrome Team and paying for the first team train to Huddersfield.
The auction prizes have been donated by Charlton fans for which I will repeat our thanks and appreciation. Only yesterday I was given some more replica shirts from the Osca era, a back to the Valley shirt and a lot more 90s and 2000s replicas including a squad signed shirt from the Prem days. If it wasn't for the traffic problems we'd also have a Match worn Chris Solly signed shirt but they will all come up for auction soon enough
We've also got some signed photographs, books, fanzines and lots of programmes as well as art work from Dave Ramzan.
Unless otherwise stated the items are all up for auction. Please don't bid if you can't or don't intend to pay.
To re-start the action we have the painting pictured below. It is oil on canvas and measures 22" x 18". It is unframed. The painting show Super Clive completing his hat-trick at Wembley in 1998.
The painter, Neil Leonard is a Charlton fan.
The winner will have to collect the painting from Gravesend, Woolwich or Southwark unless they wish to pay for postage.
The opening bid for the picture is £15. The auction ends on Friday 31st August at 5.00pm
Happy bidding

I'll start off with £20 Henry
Thankfully Mr Jones only involvement with these auctions was putting in the cross for the goal : - )

Bullseye from Tango has it at present
80 quid it is.
Just had a one off Charlton shirt delivered by a man with a ticker tape machine in his Porche but more of that in the coming weeks.
I'll just add that the artist Neil is my friend and I've been the go between with Ben. If anybody has any questions feel free to post on here or PM me.
Happy bidding.
