| This year Birstall Luddies in partnership with Fairfield School had
their own stall in the House
of Friendship at the District Conference. The stall centred on Fairfield School and the toys that Luddite Colin Wall as been adapting this includes a large saucer switch that the pupils can operate. Tracey Fillan represented Fairfield School and through the day with President Margaret, Rotarian Helen and Colin manned the stall. They explained to visitors the aims of the school, they showed and gave demos with the toys that Colin had modified. A raffle also raised funds. Also being demonstrated was a Eye Gazer tablet computer system which President Margaret has as a target to buy for the school at the end of her year in office. In Saturday afternoon Breakout Sessions in the Spa Music Rooms Willie Clark ran the Community and Vocation session. In this session Fairfields Tracy gave a talk about Kids Out and Birstall Luddites involvement in running the day excursion to Lightwater Valley. Birstall Luddites involvement with Fairfield was highlighted with Santa sleigh visits to Fairfield so the club gained credit for Willies Rotary in the Community. |
