CHRISTMAS came early for several Fylde schools when British Aerospace donated 30 computers.
The donation was the pilot for a scheme to dispose of BAe's redundant IT equipment. BAe Warton site general manager Jim O'Shaughnessy said: "With BAe constantly upgrading its IT equipment to stay at the forefront of our business, it made perfect sense to donate this equipment to the schools in our community."
Fylde MP Michael Jack presented the computers on behalf of BAe to Lytham St Annes High headteacher Michael Payne.
Other schools to benefit are Heyhouses Junior, Lytham Hall Park and Lytham St Annes 6th Form Centre.
