We are working hard...

We are are working hard towards accreditation by the Museums Libraries Archive which sets high standards for the care of objects and record keeping to ensure they are passed on to future generations.

* Garden games - giant chess, skittles, etc.

* New display cases for the museum

* A garden room to the rear of the property (subject to planning permission)

* An audio/visual system to display archive material

Do you have any other suggestions for improvements that we could use? We would appreciate your views on all or any of these improvements.
