AN AMAZING Ken-yan safari, including a week's game bird shooting, is on offer to bidders at the Cou-ntryside Alliance's Countryside Race Day at Cheltenham on Friday, November 12.

The Ultimate Travel Com-pany and Ker & Downey have donated the lot for the auction which will raise funds for the Countryside Alliance and the Spinal Injuries Association.

The successful bidder will win a week's game bird shooting safari, including francolin and sand grouse, for six couples to be taken during 2005. The lot will include all expenses during the week but excludes flights.

Organiser Sarah Holman said: "This is a fantastic auction lot and we hope we will get a lot of interested parties both at the auction and beforehand.
