I tried to do that with a form last month, bidder, item description, split or donation but even that was confusing, especially when it came to people's totals. I think the best thing is to have the runner hand out three records (slips of paper) for each item. Seller's fill out the general info beforehand and the runner hands the item along with receipt to the buyer and seller? I can handle the money, making change etc., but I can't memorize who bought what and for how much and rifle through piles of papers trying to find someone while the auction is zipping along. If every meeting turns into a 60+ item auction, then you are going to go through a lot treasurers. It's been a great fundraiser, but it's getting complicated when there is a pile of stuff. How about Paul or another board member handle it this time since I did it in September.

I agree with Susan. We should make it a rule that no one pays until the end of the auction, period. Calye was helping as much as she could, but poor Susan was still swamped with work. Y'know, the Vancouver club's auction forms were pretty cool,a nd I still have them here onmy desktop. If everyone agrees, I could redo them for our club's use, and we could simply keep a stack of them on hand for our monthly auctions. Thoughts?
