The <strong>Stopfordian</strong> <strong>2011</strong>–<strong>2012</strong><br />
to <strong>the</strong> ambiance, a music group sporting traditional musical<br />
instruments played a variety of music ranging from ABBA to<br />
<strong>the</strong> Sound of Music (Edelweiss, of course).<br />
The next day <strong>the</strong> much anticipated tour of CERN meant<br />
getting up early. Once we arrived at CERN we started by<br />
watching a slide show on what CERN is and what takes place<br />
<strong>the</strong>re. After <strong>the</strong> presentation we split off into two groups<br />
before visiting <strong>the</strong> ATLAS detector visitor centre, where we<br />
saw <strong>the</strong> control room where <strong>the</strong> detector’s temperature and<br />
o<strong>the</strong>r vital properties are monitored. The results of <strong>the</strong><br />
experiments are also recorded in <strong>the</strong> control room which is<br />
under continuous observation. Lunch was in <strong>the</strong> cafe in<br />
CERN before we left for <strong>the</strong> Youth Hostel and headed for <strong>the</strong><br />
airport and finally home. We would like to thank Mrs Fenton<br />
for organising <strong>the</strong> trip and Mr Killey and Mrs Lockwood also<br />
for looking after us.<br />

SNOWDONIA<br />
Thankfully we still had<br />
enough emergency rations!<br />
Then a tour of <strong>the</strong> Police Air<br />
Support Unit to find out<br />
about <strong>the</strong> role of helicopters<br />
A forecast of strong winds and snow meant that we could not<br />
tackle any high mountains so off to Aber Falls for lunch<br />
