MSP Aileen Campbell also took part in this event and was present at the launch. This event was a 'Guinness Book of World Record' attempt to generate as much electricity over 24 a twenty four hour period using bicycles. Unfortunately the record was not broken as not enough participated during the night and this resulted in the attempt being 3609 watt hours short of the target. The current record stands at 12,953 watt hours with this attempt achieving 9344 watt hours. James has contacted the 'Guinness Book of World Records' to ask if they will recognise this achievement as this was attempted over one 24 hour period and the current record was done over three eight hour periods. This event was well attended with 886 people participating in the attempt and all those you participated enjoyed the day and will receive a certificate for their efforts. There were a number of stalls at the event on the Saturday and plenty of activities for all to enjoy. 400 people attended the Open Day
