Congratulations and thank you to everyone who participated in this the 11th year of the Rotary Technology Tournament. Numbers of attendees were down a little with some 'crying off' at the eleventh hour. Nevertheless everyone looked happy and the organisers looked exhausted so all-in-all it went well.
Once we have all recovered we plan to review whether OR NOT we need to change the time of year to fit in with when we can run it and when it fits in the academic year.
In the mean time at the top you will see a slideshow of all the pics of the day.
