Friary Arms, Shripney Road Other Events The Society also attends some of the major events across the town, having a stall to promote the work of the Society and Museum, recruit new members and volunteers and sell publications etc. Our ability to do this is determined by the availability of those able to attend. We are always under a Gazebo, or in a Marquee or hall and it can be a very pleasurable duty, particularly on a sunny day when there is also lots going on around as well. If you are able to assist, please leave your name on the rota in the Museum. |
