Coming up this Saturday 6th June at 2pm is Monarchs 100 Auction of interesting speedway items and much more!

Monarchs 100 fundraising group have been working hard to gather items for their virtual auction which will take place on Saturday via online video conferencing platform Zoom.

A fascinating array of items has been assembled for which the Monarchs 100 group offer their grateful thanks for all of the donations.

The auction will be hosted by Monarchs 100 spokesperson, and familiar face to all Monarchs fans, Scott Wilson. Looking ahead to Saturday Scott said, "Going under the hammer we will have everything from a motor car to a Peter Carr helmet.

"When Monarchs 100 Coordinator Derek Wilkinson came to me with this idea, I thought it was fantastic.

"This will be a great chance for fans to come together virtually, have a bit of fun but also to take home some great items while also raising a bit of dosh for the Club."

Included in the auction will be Monarchs and general speedway memorabilia alongside other exciting items and even a money-cannot-buy experience.

Assessing the lots on offer Scott continued, "There's a really good mix ranging from a fully roadworthy and ready-to-go car to a signed photo of Jack Young and more really special pieces of memorabilia, . You can even bid for a dinner for two with none other than Monarchs own popular Aussie, Josh Pickering.

"I'm told Josh is no cheap date so that will definitely be worth every penny and it will be one of our top lots I'm sure."

A good turnout is anticipated for this unique online occasion, Scott concluded, "When speedway is allowed to resume there will be some additional outgoings to make Armadale covid-secure. This auction is going to be a fast-paced bit of fun where you could bag something very special while raising vital funds.

"A lot of these items are really worth a look so please spread the word! Make sure that all your speedway friends from across the country and around the speedway world know that there is only one place to be this Saturday. I'll see everyone on Zoom at 2pm!"
