Richard asks where to mail auction goods. Shipping bikes to the hotel is fine, we've already made arrangements for that. However, I think it's best not to burden the hotel with lots of other, smaller boxes that might compromise space for everyone's bikes, so I think it's best to send those items to me, rather that to the hotel.
PLEASE CLEARLY LABEL THE BOXES "CIRQUE CHARITY AUCTION" c/o me, at the address below. I'll transport the boxes to the hotel on Thursday evening or Friday morning.
Thanks.
