Gosh we are a destructive lot on the GEM list! Paul and I are rather into catapults, trebuchets (traction and counterpoise), mangonels etc We maintained and operated the Caerphilly Eengines of War for CADW for years (we retired when our friend and mentor Peter Humphries retired and decided to spend a few Bank Holidays at home). We also made and judged them for the "Scrapheap" C4 series a few years back. We can make and demonstrate models - for anyone from schools to Scouts and will referee competitions to build them. I think there's still some pics of e.g.s on our web site: www.artefacts.uk.com and we're also happy just to offer advice to anyone else who fancies building some! Best wishes Julie and Paul Artefacts -----Original Message----- From: List for discussion of issues in museum education in the UK.
