From tvnz.co.nz: Fantasy fans have the opportunity to meet Sir Peter Jackson on the set of The Hobbit by bidding in an auction. The TradeMe auction is selling the chance to meet The Hobbit director and is expected to attract bidders from all around the world. Money raised from the auction will be donated to Sir Ray Avery’s charity, Medicine Mondiale. Sir Ray hopes New Zealanders will be generous while bidding on the auction. Other prizes available include a lunch on the set of Shortland Street, two days recording in Neil Finn’s studio and a meet and greet with Sonny Bill Williams. The bidding for Peter Jackson is currently up to $1200, but Sir Ray hopes to raise $100,000 to produce products to battle nutrition in Nepal. Sir Ray says bidders will not only have the opportunity to win great prizes, but also the satisfaction of giving money to a worthy charity. Auction
