PADDLES AT THE READY! Here’s what you could pick up at Ku’s World AIDS Day auction…

We haven’t been this excited about holding a paddle since, well… last night.  We’re damned near wetting ourselves for this year’s Ku Auction, where walking away with a trip to Amsterdam and a beer hamper is your good deed for the day.

Those folks over at Ku Bar are always out to do some good, and this year as part of their World AIDS Day festivities they’re having a good old-fashioned auction. This is miles away from the crap ones you have to endure over at your niece’s school, Ku is offering up some good. Some very good goods in fact. 

Ruling the roost will be Vicky Vivacious who sure knows her way around a gavel. She’s sure to knock back those drinks until you’re not sure if she’s doing that auctioneer kind of speech, or having a seizure. This year they’re raising funds for The Food Chain who are dedicated to feeding the fight against HIV. From their kitchens in Acorn House and King’s Cross, they ensure people living with HIV in London can access all the nutrition they need to get well, stay healthy, and lead healthy, independent lives. 

SO let’s get down to the good stuff. You know, the good goods we mentioned earlier? Good. Here’s what’s up for grabs this year:

BELVEDERE TASTING + HAMPER donated by MHUK

A fab Belvedere Masterclass experience unlike other in Ku’s very own Light Lounge for you and up to five friends. PLUS a luxury hamper (we do love a hamper) including Belvedere Vodka Magnum and bespoke glasses.

BEER LOVES HAMPER donated by Brew & Press

Free beer for a year. YES, YOU HEARD US. Free beer for a whole damn year. Twelve cases of Staropramen bottles will land on your doorstep PLUS 10 people at Grandstand Bar in Canary Wharf this winter, with ice skating and a big walloping bar tab.

AMSTERDAM TRIP donated by Heineken UK

A trip for you and a friend or boyfriend or mailman to Amsterdam. A weekend of relaxation and fun, including flights and two nights in a lovely hotel in the centre of Amsterdam. YES Ku.

LUXURY CLARIDGE’S HAMPER donated by Claridge’s, with Ku regular Timothy Lock

An exclusive Claridge’s hamper, daaaaarlign. This one comes with a champagne afternoon tea for two and a tour of the infamous Claridge’s kitchen. PLUS a bunch of literature signed by the likes of Dita Von Tesse and executive chef Martyn Nial.

The Ku World AIDS Day Auction is THIS Friday, November 30th, at Ku Bar, 30 Lisle Street WC2H 7BA. The paddles will be fluttering from 7 pm.
