The Publican Launches Charity eBay Auctions.

We love freebies at The Publican. We're quite pathetically grateful when we get sent cases of beer, boxes of crisps, chocolate, tickets to major sporting events, trips to exotic destinations and similar goodies. PR companies take note.
However, some of the stuff we get sent in might be high-quality branded merchandise but, for one reason or another, it fails to find an owner.
So we've decided to starting flogging it on eBay, the auction website that appears to have been invented for the sole purpose of shifting unwanted presents. And we're going to donate the profits to a worthy cause - the Licensed Trade Charity.
To kick us off, we've got some stylish bits and pieces from our mates at Heineken, sponsors of the Champions League and, coincidentally enough, the Heineken Cup. The auction includes a floppy sun hat, a pack of playing cards, some cool sunglasses, a zip-up bottle holder and some ear-plugs (don't ask).

You can find the auction on ebay.co.uk by clicking on the link below, searching for our user name, thepublicansales, or by auction number 6265126417. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=6265126417&ssPageName=ADME:L:LCA:UK:31
We'll be adding more auctions in the weeks to come, all in eBay's "breweriana" categories, and we'll keep you updated on the amount we've raised. Remember - bid early, bid often. Jolly exciting isn't it?
