Travel & Tourism Charity Event!

A unit that our travel & tourism student had to complete in order to achieve their course is Unit 13 Events. This means they had to plan, prepare and deliver a successful event, and they decided to hold a charity event to raise money for the Kingfisher School in Abingdon. So with great preparation the event was held on Monday 25^th January 2016 at Abingdon Campus.

The event consisted of bikes and rowing machines and it was a challenge to see which groups could cycle and row the distance from London to Paris in the quickest time: the groups were Travel & Business VS Sport & Public Services! Our TOBES student were excellent as they all took part, even the staff did to. All together they rowed and cycled for 5 hours straight! They also held a raffle and cake sale.

The students also invited the Oxford Mail in for a quick story for the papers.

It was safe to say that the event was a HUGE success and the Travel student even made in it in Abingdon Herald!
