The Beeston Bump lobster has been miraculously rebuilt, patched up and retouched, so despite looking like the walking wounded with his bandages and plasters, he will make an appearance at this Sunday's auction of Crab and Lobster Trail Sculptures on Cromer pier from 4pm.
Many thanks to Jim Bond for his reconstruction work and to Chris Taylor for the photo below.
I think it will be well worth going down to the prom on Sunday afternoon just to see all the crabs and lobsters together, especially those that have been hidden away in the more obscure locations. And you never know, you may end up taking a unique sculpture home with you...
The auction will be conducted by professional auctioneer Martyn Fox. If there is the remotest danger that you might want to bid, please remember that you will have to register your name and contact details to get a bidder number. This can be done on the pier on Sunday 30th May before and during the auction.
Your lobster shall go to the ball!
Am so glad that your lobster will make it to the auction despite the setbacks. I hope, with all your hardwork and the story that goes with it, lots of money will be raised for the RNLI!x
