It will drop metalwork to import resistant materials classes!!!!! I am
trying to get to help at my daughters school as a science and engineering
ambassador. If anyone is interested, it is run through Birmingham university
and is trying to interest kids in engineering. If you are interested in
helping, please drop me a line and I will put you forward. A simple chat and
an automatic crb check (Free), will qualify and I have had some major fun.

Alan, please make that plural--"despite what our govtS
think" as I was advised this week that the high school
next door is getting ready to drop its Metalworking
classes.  Hmmmm---I suppose this will mean a sale of
surplus equiptment then!
