The Wye and Usk Foundation will soon be kicking off its annual auction aimed at raising vital funds to repair and maintain the rivers.

Last year’s auction brought in more than £23,000, and the foundation is hoping that this year it will be bigger and better.

The auction will run from October 17 to 24 and the foundation is calling for more prize donations.
