Did any of the schools ever mention what the danger is of an
analemmatic sundial?

Roughly one year ago, I had mentioned on this 'Mailing List' that
our local Educational Authority would not permit us to install an
interactive 'analemmatic' sundial on our school playground - since
their opinion was that it was simply too dangerous, for children !
It now seems that other countries are 'banning' these, for similar
"Health and Safety" reasons - which I think is totally ridiculous,
and suggest that the general Sundial community should 'protest' to
the people concerned, as otherwise we are in danger of losing the
opportunity to have these interesting outdoor educational projects.
I know that they are generally 'frowned-upon', by schools here in
Britain - but it appears that Canadian and Australian schools have
also decided, that these 'Human Sundials' cause too much trouble !
See the page at: www.sunclocks.com/pics/fs-007.htm#reconstituted
If anyone might like to join me in a 'campaign', to stop sundials
being discouraged by schools - then please get in touch with me by
E-mail, or you could also contact me on my mobile: +44 7769561152.
Should anyone have comments on this deplorable situation - then I
would also appreciate your thoughts, direct to the 'Mailing List'.
Sincerely,
Martina Addiscott.
