In 2008 the tournament took place on Tuesday 11th March at Featherstone Rovers rugby ground, from 09:00 to 16:00 and was sponsored by Costain plc.

Some Rotary Clubs and Districts run an annual Rotary Technology Tournament. The Wakefield club, in partnership with five other local clubs, is one of them.

The local competition is now in its second year and our partner clubs are Wakefield Chantry, Castleford, Normanton, Pontefract and Osgoldcross & Elmete.

Rotary Technology Tournament provides an opportunity for students to use team-building skills in solving a design and technology problem, as well as to practise oral, written and graphical communications skills.

Each of the clubs mentioned above will provide three judges and £150 to help fund the project. There is no entry fee for teams to pay.
