This was our third year here at St. Edwards School, and once again we were able to fill both
halls with a wide variety of layouts, traders and demonstrations, including the latest in computer
simulations, and old favourites like train rides!
Our thanks as always to all invloved in the planning, preparation and running of the
exhibition, in particular the hard working volunteers providing the refreshments.
