RAGs week - When Reading was made immensely Proud

The Raise and Give Society need huge congratulations sent their way. This blog will essentially be another opportunity to sing the praises of Julia and the rest of the committee for all their hard work, work which really paid off and led to a RAGs week I think Reading can be truly proud of.

The Exec gave as much support as we could – as well as generally supporting the group for things like making sure stalls were available and chasing up leaflets, I was personally involved with two events – the Wednesday night Beaning and the Friday Lock-up.

On Wednesday I raised money to try and get Jenna beaned, with limited success because unlike my fellow Sabbs I didn’t stand outside by the queue cheating… As it happened it was academic as all three of us got covered in beans live on stage. My Mum was proud. We raised about £400 over the evening though which was obviously excellent. Only £66 was raised to bean me – which just shows how lovely and loved I am…

Friday was the Lock-up. Cries of “Release your Nickers” echoed across the campus and bemused open day visitors, but I did manage to collect the £50 bail target, as well as an extra £15 – which I think shows how unjustly imprisoned I was. A lot of fun and hopefully something I’ll be able to do again next year.

All in all the week raised £3,560.99!
So well done RAGs – you were awesome!
