Fanclub charity auction
Iron Maiden news 22/09/12
Next weekend, Rod and The Truants will be on their bikes again - this time to Marrakesh for 130 miles of mainly off-road and decidedly hilly-sounding cycling, all in the name of charity. So, as has become traditional, we're having a special fanclub-only auction to raise some extra funds. This time we've had a dig through the archives and pulled out some goodies along a 'Maiden England' theme - to celebrate the successful US tour and to look forward to 2013 in Europe. Speaking of which, you'll notice a very special Donington opportunity is up for grabs... We've chosen a nice mixture of items to hopefully offer something for every budget.
