Falcon sculpture for sale at CLA Game Fair charity auction The CLA Charitable Trust is to auction a contemporary fine art sculpture of a falcon valued at nearly £8,000 during a fundraising event at The CLA Game Fair 2011. The Cry of the Falcon is a limited edition handcrafted sculpture cast in bronze donated by artist and CLA member Ian Edwards.
Ian said: "The sculpture shows a peregrine falcon at the 'stoop' just before it plunges through the air towards its prey. I wanted to support the CLA Charitable Trust by donating it and I hope the auction allows a collector to own a piece of my work at an attractive price."
CLA Charitable Trust Director Peter Geldart said: "We are overwhelmed by Ian's generosity and sure we will raise a significant amount of money for the Trust to continue our work helping the young, disabled or disadvantaged experience the countryside."
A one-week stay including fishing for four rods on the River Lyon at Inverinain Lodge in Perthshire is also up for grabs, plus one week's work experience with Strutt & Parker based in their Lewes office.
Further lots available to raise funds for the Trust include two VIP Wembley tickets for the England versus Holland football match on10 August, a hot air balloon ride over The CLA Game Fair site provided by New Holland (subject to weather on the day) and a trio of limited edition 16-year-old whiskies kindly donated by the Bowmore Islay Distillery, along with a Bowmore 21-year-old cask matured whisky and a Bowmore Maltmen's 13-year-old whisky married from five casks.
