As many of you now know, my Mother has had a full Stroke and, at 85, this has hit her hard. She had 2 mini strokes last November and a Haemorrhage a few weeks before the Stroke. As a result, the family will be giving her the 24/7 care that she now needs. She is a lot stronger now and we don't know how long the care will take but I have, of course, committed to travel back to the UK on a regular basis to do my share of the caring.

As a result of this I have decided to part company with Un Bitlis (the owner of the Auction Centre) and will no longer have any dealings with the every day running of the Auction business, but will now just be the Auctioneer on the given Auction day - which will still be the last Saturday of every month.

The Shop opening days have changed and are now as follows:-

Closed every Monday and open the other 6 days a week with the hours as before 10 to 4 pm, there is also a new contact number 0533 8378020.

All of the accounts for payments of any items sold up to the 12th March 2016 have been signed over to Un Bitlis so if you think you might have sold items in auction or the shop please go to the Auction Centre to collect your money as its now there waiting. Maybe call first and ask for Mussa who is dealing with the accounts now.

All items that may have been sold after the 12th March please note they are down to the new accounts team.

I would just like to thank everyone for all there continued support over the last year. and It was a very enjoyable journey meeting lots of new friends that I would otherwise never of met. If you need any advise I will still be out and about and can be contacted on my number.

Many thanks again, Karl

I so agree Keith. When they are gone they are gone and leav e a hole in your heart and life that can never be filled. So, hope all goes well Karl. And while you are looking after your mum, just make sure you look after yourself! If you don't then you can't do the job half as well as when fit!
