Like so many retirees, I eat every day in the Auctioneer, drink copious coffee, ample beer and too many gins.  I mix with people of all ages and dispositions, all habits, problems and good nature.  That will all disappear if the Auctioneer closes.

Presently drinking a beer with my Camra colleagues and our concern is unanimous.  Get signed up and save a decent gathering place , a warm and friendly community local, from extinction.
