Pupils from Dale Street School at Ulverston were among those taking part in a science and technology fun day in 1988. Science and technology are fun was the theme for primary school pupils from the south of Cumbria who gathered at Ulverston Victoria Lower School. Organiser for the day was Tim Keys, an education inspector with an interest in science, who was assisted by Caronne Field, an adviser for science and technology. They were helped out by sixth form students from Ulverston Victoria High School. Highlight of the day was the great egg race in which 250 primary school pupils who had been given the task to make working models of clocks, put the results of their endeavours on display in competition.

Last week five testing sites opened in Carlisle, Aspatria, Kendal, Penrith, and Millom. This week, six additional sites have been been opened in Barrow in Furness, Dalton, Milnthorpe, Sedbergh, Workington and Whitehaven. Lateral Flow tests give a result in 30 minutes and help identify asymptomatic carriers, people who do have COVID-19 and are infectious but are not ill. These people can then self-isolate to protect others. The testing sites are open to any essential workers who cannot work from home and come into regular contact with other people through their job, and who do not have COVID-19 symptoms. The tests are free and no booking is required, but please note the sites are only open at the times stated.
