Join the Tron Theatre Glasgow Panto characters for a live Glow Meet. Mister Merlin’s magic is mince if he doesn’t have his wand – a family heirloom handed down through many Merlin generations. The Great Bahooky’s magic has always been mince – so stealing Mister Merlin’s wand, helped (or is it hindered?) by his side-kick Bumble, is part of his cunning plan for wizard world domination. What he didn’t bank on was Merlin having a guardian angel, in the guise of The Govan Fairy; or two plucky puppet pals Peter and Penny prepared to brave Clabber Castle’s haunted garden to get the wand back. You will be able to meet the cast, ask them questions and find out all about the magic of Mister Merlin. Sign up here <http://newsletters-ltscotland.org.uk/LQE-MQEE-3GU5HR-8QJCD-1/c.aspx> .

Who is Your Superstar of Science?
Perth and Kinross primary school pupils are being tasked to pinpoint their ‘superstar of science’, whether an inventor, modern-day computer games designer, or explorer.
Organised by the Association for Science Education <http://www.asescotland.org.uk/annual-conference.html> , whose annual Scottish conference will be held at Crieff Hydro Hotel on Friday 2 and Saturday 3 March 2012, the Superstars of Science competition will ask primary 4-7 pupils in Perth and Perthshire to select their science hero and research his or her impact on modern-day life.
Superstars can be alive or dead, from anywhere in the world and associated with any scientific speciality or era, past or present. TechFest-SetPoint, a Scottish educational charity which promotes STEM (science, technology, engineering and maths) subjects, will shortly be sending competition packs to all local authority and independent primary schools throughout the area.
