The 2017 Season

March 4, 2016

“Winston Churchill” visits the Summer Exhibition

A number of guests including history reenactors attending a local function took the opportunity to pay a visit to our exhibition.  Among them was a well known “Winston Churchill” impersonator Stan Streather, who by a quirk of fate encountered “Queen Victoria” in the air raid shelter!

Can you help us to raise vital funding?  

If you have a printer that uses inkjet cartridges we can recycle them and gain £1 for each cartridge.  If you would like to help we can supply prepaid envelopes to take 2 cartidges (see contacts page) or you can pop them through the letterbox of our office at 23 Sheep Street for us to arrange transport. The recycling company are unable to accept inktanks such as Brother, Epson and Kodak in these envelopes. However we can send them in a bulk box from our address in Sheep Street.  The recycling company will also accept old mobile phones (minus the SIM card) by the same method .

Your help would really be appreciated.

As the Spring approaches there are murmurings under the earth. In fact there has already been one visit to the Shelter Exhibition this montheven before we have been able to do the annual preperations for the new season which opens officially to the public on Saturday 6th of May.                                    

One of our preperations will be finding space for yet more exhibits, a large number of which have been generously donated by members of the public since the exhibition closed last October.
