Morning dear followers, trust you're all keeping warm on this chilly grey day.... just another reminder about getting involved in our little (big) museum. Click the link and see what that means and how to do it or just come into the museum and do it in person.

Our Annual General Meeting is coming up on Saturday 25th July and you need to become a member if you want to be on our board....or just help out as a volunteer.

Cheers,
Kathleen McCann
Communications Officer BVPM
