It has to be better than the visit to Blackburn Rovers FC that I was saddled with when I was at school.  |
I certainly agree with this, in my experience these kinds of things tend to be driven by relationships with local organisations, maybe there are schools that have a racing team round the corner they have an annual visit to, I wouldn't be a bit surprised if it's happening in a small way somewhere and we just don't know.
