Auction of Paintings
The following nine paintings have been kindly offered by a Star Lane End Silkmen fan who is also an artist. He has asked the SST to auction his work to raise funds for the SST. Some of the paintings have bespoke, professional frames and the others are mounted but without frames. A reserve has been set for each painting to reflect the cost of the framing which will be repaid to the artist.
