The 2008 Remap Awards 

.

 

Leeds & Bradford Panel were in the awards once again at this year's National AGM held at the 'Thinktank' in Birmingham.

 

The award winner was Mark Mercer with his 'Kateryna's Buggy' and the award was presented by our Vice President Professor Heinz Wolff

.

 

     

Kateryna has muscular dystrophy and wanted something to make her more independent at floor level than is possible with a conventional wheelchair. The buggy enables her to reach her own toys and more easily join in play activities with her younger sister and friends.

The buggy is battery powered with independent motor drives at the two rear wheels and a castored front wheel, a combination which makes it highly manoeuvrable

  

 

A New Remap Panel with a difference! 

As you will have seen in the latest National Newsletter, Remap now has a ‘virtual’ Panel. The intended activities of the new Panel are fully outlined on it’s own website and the link to that is Remap -Internet. 

With the old maxim in mind of “Use it or loose it”, let us hope it gets plenty support

 

2008 Harrogate Model Engineering Exhibition  

 

Remap was represented at the Harrogate Model Engineering Exhibition held at the Yorkshire Showground in May.

The stand was organised by the Harrogate Panel with staffing assistance from the Leeds & Bradford and  York Panels.

Considerable interest was shown in Remap's activities and it is hoped the event will result in some new members. 

 

The FORUM bit

 

The challenges to REMAP's ingenuity come in all shapes and sizes. Some solutions are obvious, others imponderable and some occasionally downright inspirational.
