Promoting Reading with RDG

If your workplace is based in the centre of Reading you've probably noticed something rather bold in town. Three huge letters RDG have been plonked in popular locations all around the town centre, drawing in curious members of the public.

What's it all about?

Reading UK CIC has launched the RDG project with the aim to promote Reading town. Members of the public are given the opportunity to scribble on the letters and share what they love most about Reading and why. RDG and RDGUK are popular hashtags used for Reading on Twitter. The promoters are encouraging people to use the hashtags when tweeting to show the nation what Reading has to offer. Members of the public can have photographs taken with the letters with family and friends. The project is creating a real sense of community in Reading and hundreds of shoppers are joining in. There is even a competition to win £250 in vouchers for the Oracle.

Where should you expect to see it?

On Monday the RDG project surprised commuters at Reading Railway Station and on Tuesday the giant letters were positioned on the hustling Broad Street. Today RDG will appear in the Oracle Riverside and by Thursday it will have relocated to Forbury Gardens.

It's not too late to join in! Get involved by tweeting with the hashtags #rdg and #rdguk!
