Charity Raffle/ Rob's Tuck Shop

As with all our conferences, we are eager to seize this fantastic opportunity to support a worthy cause. We will be running a raffle where you could win a selection of mathematical prizes, with all proceeds going to Macmillan Cancer Support.

Rob's Tuckshop is also back, offering a delightful assortment of sweet treats and drinks while raising funds for Macmillan. More than just a place for refreshments, the tuckshop serves as your social hub—an opportunity to network and unwind between sessions while indulging in a nostalgic selection of sweets, including favourites like white mice, rainbow belts, and fizzy cola bottles.

If you’d like to donate a prize to our raffle, please email us at events@completemaths.com

Treasure Hunt

Throughout the day you will have a collection of mathematical questions that you need to find and solve, with each question labelled with a greek letter. Solve the questions, and using our cipher, convert the greek letters to give you a mathematical word. If you get the correct word, you will be entered into a prize draw and be in with a chance of winning an Amazon Fire Tablet.
