Andrew Davies said that there was a need to keep the book both secure and permanently visible to the school and visitors.  Following discussions with the Trust it had been decided to commission the design and construction of an oak cabinet with the cost being met by some specific donations.  Construction had been undertaken by Brownlow Cabinet Makers of Great Barrow who delivered it in their period van (below) and carried it into the school hall.

The cabinet’s permanent position is in the school’s entrance foyer and 2012 winner, Becky, stands next to it with her plaque.

Stuart Exell, Chairman of the Trustees said how pleased he was that the school was making such good use of the woodland.
