Auction Update
We have also added another item to the charity auction. The cover for the event magazine this year has been drawn by comic artist Simon Williams and features RiD Prime and the original black and white for the cover will be going into the auction! The cover for last year's magazine, that was also made into one of our two exclusive postcards, raised a massive £90, so hopefully this one will do just as well! A scan of the artwork is on the
Auction page of the website.
