This year we moved to a new venue - Weston Favell School, Booth Lane South NN3 3EZ. Over 50 teams (most of whom actually registered beforehand) participated. They have put up on their website more pictures of the day.
The Mayor came to 'work the crowd' and the Weston Favell Head came down to see all was well. And the local 'rag', the Chronicle and Echo reported on it in the paper on 17th March
4 Representatives from the Rotary Club of Huntingdon came along to observe, as they are considering holding a similar event down their way.
Prizes were presented by representatives from both the National Space Centre and Sloane Helicopters. Cool, eh?
We shall be running the Technology Tournament again in 2010, on Wednesday 17th March.
Why not put a link from your own website to this page? We have put up here some pictures taken by our official photographer, Tony Rundle. Want a full-sized copy of any of them? Email our official photographer, Tony Rundle via the link on the Communications page.
We also ran a concurrent journalism competition and hope to be able to publish copies of the reports soon after the event.
