Students from St Anne's College were out in Bonn Square today raising money for charity. The students looked like they were having fun, in the 24 hour Rowathon event. I am not sure if they rowed all night, I should have asked. One of the ways to collect money was to buy a scoop of Ice Cream from Oxford own G&D Ice Creamery. Pictured here rowing along side a student is the G&D mascot having a row and helping out. Not sure if this character has a name, maybe someone can help me out with this?
Great way to raise some money. Have not rowed in quite a few years, so I guess its just as well I like proper ice cream. I must check out G&D next time I visit. Paul Leeds daily photo
ReplyDeleteIt was a charity Erg-a-thon, though Rowathon works too. Our official mascot is a beaver, but as G&D's were helping us out we took turns to don a cow costume - partly for the fun, partly to draw attention! No we did not row all night, but we rowed 8 hours for 3 days.
