A DELEGATION of outstanding young scientists from a Lytham school are taking part in a ten-day international seminar in the Czech Republic.
The six students from King Edward VII and Queen Mary School travelled to Hradec Kralove, the Bohemian regional capital, 60 miles east of Prague, to study alternative sources of energy with other European pupils at the Nemcove School.
Lytham group leader Simon Smith said of the pupils, who will be staying with Czech families during the trip: "They will have to work hard but they will will be made very welcome by our Czech hosts. It should be a very rewarding stay."
Vladislav Kral, head of the Nemcove School, said he hoped that the seminar would further strengthen the links between the two schools, first started in 1994.
He said: "We have enjoyed art exchanges, choir visits, geography expeditions and especially this annual science seminar." Next year the seminar will be held in Lytham.
The party was visiting Prague before returning to Lancashire on Sunday (September 30).
