The 2014 “Closed” Season

March 4, 2013

With the exhibitions in the Air Raid Shelter and Cottages well established last year there was little to do in the closed season other than cleaning and minor alterations.  There were out of season visits from a number of schools and groups and also talks given at various venues in and around Cirencester on a variety of Historical subjects.   On the 26th and 27th of April, a week before the opening of this year’s Exhibition, members and supporters of the LMHA took part in the GWR 1940’s Steam Weekend on the Gloucestershire Warwickshire Railway.  We provided an exhibition of some of our WW2 artefacts on Winchcombe station.  It was a very well attended event with over 500 visitors to our small exhibition alone. It was also an excellent way of getting publicity out for our own  exhibition this year.
