Recently the NHC lost a highly regarded member, Andrew Moore @BeoirFinder. He was very much part of the craft beer community in Ireland (supporting new Irish breweries and distilleries, both locally and volunteering at festivals) and he was also a home-brewer.
Andrew's wife, Susan, has very kindly donated his brewing gear to the NHC. We have decided to remember him by auctioning off the items with the proceeds being donated to Médecins Sans Frontières, a charity that Andrew supported & believed in.
Please check out the available lots HERE (https://www.nationalhomebrewclub.ie/wordpress/2020/09/auction-for-andrew-moores-brewing-gear.).
You can also make a donation to MSF if there is nothing that catches your eye.
A list of the current highest bids are now listed on the page, before the descriptions, if you want to bid higher on an item.
Bump! This auction closes in 2 days. Remember all proceeds are going to charity so not only are you getting some hardware but you're also donating to a worthwhile cause.
What time today are you planning to close the bidding?

Closed at midnight (sorry for not getting back earlier)
Thank you everyone for bidding, truly grateful for the response.
Honours both Andrew & also the community spirit amongst homebrewers.
I'll be contacting everyone shortly by email to arrange payment & shipping arrangements.
Emails have been sent out to the winning bids.
Keep an eye out & I'll organise for the items to be sent on asap.
Thank you to everyone who got involved, we raised & have now donated €1,166, in Andrew's memory, to the charity Médecins Sans Frontières Ireland (https://www.msf.ie/).
