Scrapheap Challenge
We all enjoyed this night, building contraptions that worked (in the
Tuesday troops case anyway) and then seeing who could fire the ball of
paper the furthest. I have to say well done to the Tuesday troop who
managed distances of 2 1/2 metres, while the Monday troop reached a
lousy top distance of 55cm. I’m sure that everyone (except the Monday
troop) would like to do the night again.
