If your school is in Northamptonshire and you weren't invited then we sent the invitation to the wrong person i.e not to YOU!
If you want your school to be involved next time then email us at rtt@rotarynenevalley.org.uk. The 2016 event will, almost certainly, happen on Wednesday 16th March. so make a note in your diaries - NOW!
What was the project this time - picking up radioactive meteorites, laying pipes or perhaps launching and recovering a satellite? The only way to find out is to join in next time.
