St Anne's College Rowathon

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?

Gamelan Music At St Anne's College

This evening in the grands of St Anne's College there was a free performance for an hour by the Oxford Gamelan Society. Having been to Bail a number of times, I was interested in popping along and listen to the Oxford Gamelan Society play, as soon as I saw the members sitting on the lawn I was transported back to Bali. I was surprised by the make up of the society, members, I was expecting to see more expat Indonesian's in the group. Had a very enjoyable hour in the sun on the lawn, Pete Smith who was running the show, told us about each piece before it was played which was interesting. Additional Photo's here.
