i everyone,

It's nearly time for this year's Starship Spring Clean! And once again the lovely Lucy Lawless has generously donated some costumes to sell in support of Starship.

Pictured below are the amazing outfits we'll be selling from the first season of her hit show Spartacus: Blood and Sand.

You can check out the auctions from 1st - 30th September at www.trademe.co.nz/starship

PLACING BIDS:

The New Zealand public can bid on the item directly at www.trademe.co.nz/starship.

Overseas fans will need to place proxy bids. Anyone interested in registering for proxy bids should check out the auctions throughout September (note: not all items will be listed from the first day - so keep checking back throughout the month).

If you would then like to place a proxy bid on any item, please email cindyc@adhb.govt.nz with the following information:

Your name
The auction name and number you wish to bid on
The amount you wish to bid

Please Note: (To avoid disappointment we recommend you offer your highest proxy bid at the outset, however, if you wish to monitor the auction as it progresses and place your bids accordingly, please note that the Starship Foundation will use its best endeavours to place your bid on your behalf but cannot guarantee your bid will be placed or that you will be the winning bidder of the item).

All personal details will be destroyed immediately after the auctions have finished.
