On Thursday 27th April Hazel Crabtree and Susan Howlett went to The Awards Ceremony for the finals of The Dragon’s Apprentice Challenge held at the Junction Cambridge. It was the first year this had been held in Cambridgeshire. There were three teams in the final two from St Ivo and one from St Mary’s Girls School. Although the St Ivo team raising money for us didn’t win they did win an award for the Best Display and Presentation. They were called The 7 Marketeers the team was made up of Tiago, Lewis, Freya, Jacob, Michael, Ben and Jordan. They gave a very good presentation and they raised £386 for The Friends of the Rosie. A very enjoyable evening again being able to promote Friends of the Rosie.
We would like to wish all our customers a Happy Summer.
