Truro Day is a useful opportunity to promote RC Truro Boscawen to a wider public. As in previous years we displayed general promotional Rotary material and staged our own virtual treasure hunt for a simple prize. The aim has been to engage peoples's interest so they can better understand what we do.

This year we also used Truro Day for the presentation to the Mayor of the Polio project crocus bulbs.The barrow of beer from Merlin also made another appearance (!)  as well as a Shelterbox.
