The Lancashire and Cumbria branch area is fairly self-explanatory. We cover the postcode areas PR (Preston), FY (Fylde coast), BB (Blackburn and East Lancashire), LA (Lancaster, North Lancashire and South Cumbria) and CA (Carlisle and North Cumbria). We collaborate with our neighbouring north west branches (Merseyside and Manchester and district) in organising the NW region of the IOP competition for schools: SciCast Physics.
