The RaW campaign roadshow hit Slough Ice Arena for the first time on Saturday 29 March 2008 and made a huge impact on the 775 spectators who watched Slough Jets lose 2-3 to arch Berkshire rivals Bracknell Bees.

It might have been the wrong result for most of the crowd, but that didn't prevent 52 fans having a go at writing challenges as part of the BBC's RaW campaign.

The campaign aims to help adults across the UK read and write better.

The 'just for fun' activities included ice hockey limericks and picture captions.

See below for a range of captions created by the ice hockey fans.

Several of the entrants also joined the Slough Library after seeing the display of recently-acquired ice hockey books at the arena.

Library Service staff got into the mood of the evening by wearing RaW ice hockey shirts and the PA announcer talked up activities on offer throughout the evening.

Organiser Roger Hammett said: "As BBC Radio Berkshire were there doing match commentary I was able to talk about the campaign on air during the first period break.

"At the end of the match there was a presentation to the RaW Man of the Match."

Slough Jets owner, Zoran Kuzic, said: "We are immensely proud to be part of this great initiative.

"Reading and writing are necessities in life. It's a tough world we live in now and reading enables everybody to escape for a while to a place that makes them feel good, whether it be reading comedy, romance, or sport".
