ReplyDeleteThanks Katy, the event was successful, I attended on the night, there were heaps of bears from all over the world all of very high standard, a fantastic setting top floor of the RACV building which overlooks the city of Melbourne, we had a terrific storm that rolled in that we could watch. Lovely food and drinks, fantastic bears up for auction, and lovely entertainment, well hosted and auctioneered. I even adopted some bears myself. The money raised was a fantastic result for its first year, the organisers were pleased with this first time event and are keen to repeat in 2011.
