DC4B - K'nex fun

Tuesday, 09 February 2010 11:10

After some last minute changes to plan, our January Dangerous Club for Boys session was a big success.  More than 30 lads and dads worked through the challenges set by Gary from Planet K'nex, and as the afternoon passed, the racing got more serious!  If you've not come across it before, K'nex is a "construction and building toy" somewhere between Lego and Meccano.  Huge thanks go to Gary for helping run the event at such short notice and well done to Thomas and Mike who won the overall prize.
