season’s Premier League Champions, a flexible front wing from the 2006
Honda F1 car signed by Jenson Button and Rubens Barrichello and a rear end
plate from the 2007 Honda F1 car used at Monza this year signed by Rubens Barrichello.
Also

Pumpkin
Night has a long tradition in the village of Cumnor. In addition to the auction the annual election of
the Lord Mayor of Cumnor and the keeper of the village pond and ducks will take
place. Traditionally the newly elected Mayor is thrown into the pond after the
election.
There
will be the annual Pumpkin growing competition, modern Morris Dancing, firework
display and a children’s fancy dress competition.
Proceedings
get underway with the Children’s fancy dress competition at 6.30 pm followed by the fireworks, Morris dancing, election,
auction and raffle.
