TechMarketView supports Otter Wey Trail!

‘What on earth is an Otter Trail?’, you may well be asking!

You can read more about the Otter Wey Trail here or here. Some of you may remember ‘Shaun in the City’, which, in 2015 saw two charity art trails created featuring decorated models of Shaun the Sheep across Bristol and London. The Otter Wey Trail takes a similar form and is being led by Blooming Art, a not-for-profit community interest company (in conjunction with Farnham Town Council, Farnham in Bloom, the Surrey Wildlife Trust and the major sponsor Farnham Lions).

The initiative is a way to celebrate the return of otters to the River Wey near Farnham. Models of otters are being decorated by local schools, charities, community groups, artists and businesses to create a walking trail round Farnham.

TechMarketView is proud to be sponsoring one of the otters. As our Chairman, Richard Holway, told the Farnham Herald, “I learned about the Otter Trail at the Farnham Carol Service and thought this was a really great idea. So, I decided this would be a great way of putting something back, helping a number of local charities – and having some fun too”. The ‘TechMarketView otter’ is being decorated by St Peter's School pupils with the help of local artist, Laura Harrison.

If you want to see the trail it will be running from 20^th May to 3^rd June, forming part of the Farnham Town Walking Festival. The otters will also be on display at the Farnham Carnival on 30^th June and will then be auctioned off, in support of several local charities, later in the year.
