A CHARITY auction will take place at The Station Inn in Kidderminster on Friday.

Lots including a signed copy of Buzz Aldrin’s book with a photo and moon rock sample, 1966 World Cup signatures, a holiday in Sardinia and souvenir envelopes signed by Battle of Britain pilot Douglas Bader will be sold.

The event is the culmination of the fundraising efforts of the pub’s owners and regulars who have already collected £12,000 for Macmillan Cancer Support and Acorns Children’s Hospice this year through raffles and bucket donations.

A significant contribution to the total was also raised by a tractor pull from Droitwich to Kidderminster in May and a DVD of the epic challenge will be on sale on Friday. Admission to the auction, which starts at 7pm at The Station Inn , Farfield, is free.
