The auction that followed the Douglas Adams Memorial Lecture (see earlier news), in aid of Save the Rhino and the Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund, went very well - every auction item was sold for above their reserve price which meant both the charities exceeded their estimated income.

The artwork from Pink Floyd's album "Meddle", donated by Storm Thorgerson, was finally sold for £1800, to author Ken Follett. Nick Mason and David Gilmour were both in the audience for the lecture.

Our thanks to Katy York at Save The Rhino for the info - by the way, she also said that it is possible that at the event next year more pieces could become available. Start saving now!
