And the Winner is …

Congratulations to all five teams that participated in Optoversity Challenge last Saturday in Cambridge. It was an exciting day with individuals set various skills and knowledge tests in the morning, followed later by teams racing against the clock to identify key optometric terms. Competing were: Anglia Ruskin, Bradford, Plymouth, City and Dublin. In the end, Anglia Ruskin proudly brought back the crown after losing out to City last year. Many thanks to all the teams who raised a fantastic £3,500 for Vision Care for Homeless People through collections, food sales and sponsorship. Last chance to sponsor them here: http://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/fund/OC2019
