Hello! The Eccentric City Christmas Auction (with optional fancy dress) will take place on Tuesday 9th Dec 2008 at The Anchor Pub in Digbeth, Birmingham. 7.30pm start.

A cross between carboot and ebay, this is a fun-raising night full of joyfulness and Christmas cheeriness (therapeutic activity in an economic crisis – lets all raise our wallets with 2ps and defunct credit cards together!).

The Eccentric City newspaper shortly holds it eccentric auction (23rd Sept, Anchor pub, Digbeth, Birmingham - 7.30pm onwards). With much anticipated joy and excitement, British luminary eccentric Mr John Ward www.johnwardinventor.co.uk will be in attendance. This is a unique and wonderful honour that The Eccentric City newspaper team wanted to let people know that something outside the norm of day to day culture continues to gather greatness! A truely eccentric occasion beckons! Please feel free to come along!

BiNS has info about what the auction consists of.

John Ward seems an affable chap – here he is on Pebble Mill at One (a while back) chatting about making creations from rubbish.  According to his website, the late Screaming Lord Sutch officially appointed him Minister of Inventions for the Monster Raving Loony Party.
