Narrow victory for QEII in Charity Challenge

by isleofman.com 23rd March 2011

QEII High School in Peel is celebrating after taking first prize in the One World Charity Challenge final at the Manx Museum last night (Tuesday).

Their presentation, entitled 'Send a Cow', pipped one by the Isle of Man College about the Grace Third World Fund by less than a point, to secure the Frances Davison Cup.

Six teams staged presentations in front of a panel of judges and an audience of around 200 and, because the scores were so close, the top two were given cheques for the same amount.

They each have ?2,200 to hand over to their chosen charities.

A total pool of ?21,000 will go to charities, funded by the Isle of Man Overseas Aid Committee and the H and S Davidson Trust.
