March 2009

With the new LAL website set up, we thought you’d like to read an article on the man without whom our world today would be a much different place, and who has links with the local area - Charles Babbage, the inventor of the computer.

Kevin Ryland brings us more of his history of the cinema, we take a look at the history of the South-West to include some of the places you can visit on your own or with the school, and there are more amusing examples of how the English language can cause confusion if you get the grammar wrong.

Following the refurbishment of our lavatories on the ground floor, we also lift the lid on that everyday essential, the WC.

And then there’s news about Red Nose Day, which we held here on 13th March. Click here to find out how much we raised for charity, and see some photos in our gallery . Enjoy!
