How to be an inventor

August 19, 2016

I can safely say it was the first time that this has happened in New Mills Leisure Centre. Nearly 80 people attended the first session, which was good for a local event. Many new demos made good use of the floor area and high ceiling, especially those involving projectiles. The only notable failure was the water-bomb parachute. A hilariously entertaining failure but I won't try it again indoors! But it was a true experiment: not just a mere demonstration...!
