Support the Santas!
From Niall Gibney, Community Development Apprentice
It’s that time of year again. No, I'm not talking about Christmas. No, I'm not talking about our 9th (YES NINTH) Penny Readings. Erm, can you tell what it is yet? *Rolf Harris voice*
Now If you would have said something along the lines of "The Readers Santa Dash" I'd be on the phone to the fat man in the red suit to tell him how good you've been, but then again your behaviour is marked equally over the entire year. So if you've had a bad year: (ate too much cake, not made that phone call to that naggy relative, drunk way too much) then don't worry I know the perfect remedy to win you those very important brownie points back from Mr Christopher Cringle!
Get behind our readings Santas by donating towards our apprenticeship cause!
