Sutton Saphires

Last Thursday, 29th November saw a group of 7 young people and some of their dads head off to Chatham to compete in a heat of the First Lego League.

The FFL championship is an international robotics and teamwork challenge held in a sports like atmosphere of competition.

The group was organised by members of the St Nicholas Dads Group and the team members consisted of young people from the church and their friends from school.

Sutton Saphire (aka Sutton Sap'ers) came overall 10th out of a field of 11th.  They had a very good second round before being eliminated and put on a creditable performance against school teams that had all competed in the competition before.

The team was sponsored by SAP. Special thanks must go to Eamonn Mullally for bringing the team together, arranging the coaching sessions and the sponsorship.

Pictures to follow.
