This is the second year we have run this popular competition aimed to encourage students to read books in as many categories as possible on the bingo card. A raffle ticket is given for every book and bonus ones for a line or a full house. We had more entries than ever this year and everyone stood a chance of winning, whether it was just the one book, or 20 that had been read. Obviously, Angelina and Lisa increased their odds of winning having read an impressive amount.
We also ran a parallel competition for staff and congratulations go to Ms Court and Mrs Turton who managed to read over 25 books between them and held the lucky raffle tickets!
Hope you all enjoy your Amazon vouchers!
