And that, Ladies and Gentlemen, concludes the UK Rock Challenge Competition in the UK for 1998.
Teachers and students who took part either in the UK 1998 competition or in any of the Australian/New Zealand European Tour days back in January 1998 - do please send copies of any articles, reminiscences, memories of the highs (the lows too??) along to John Arrowsmith (you'll find the address on the fax sent to all Liaison Teachers for the UK Global Rock Challenge 1999 schools) for future possible publication on the Rock Challenge website, brochures, magazines and so on. Rock Challenge is in its early stages - it needs your feedback!
We look forward to seeing all of you back with us in 1999, fitter and fresher than ever, together with a host of new schools and venues who so far have no idea of the brilliant things that are going to happen to them when they too join in GLOBAL ROCK CHALLENGE!
