Tortoise Fair Charity Event
On Sunday, May 22, one of the biggest events of Corpus’s social calendar took place; the Tortoise Fair. Amongst the face-painting and food was the Boat Club’s own charity stall, ‘Guess the Name of the Tortoise’, raising money for local charity Reading Quest. With possibly the cutest ever cuddly tortoise up for grabs, the stall was one of the most popular at the whole fair and most of the possible names (Chaucer? Cosmo? Chapman?) were guessed by the many hopefuls.
By the end of the day, we managed to raise a fantastic £70 for Reading Quest. Congratulations to Eva Butkovicova who correctly guessed the Tortoise’s name as Boris!
We hope that the money raised will make a real difference to the charity and we are already looking forward to planning more charity events!
