Diary dates
-
A guided tour of a Shropshire Union Canal
Fly Boat on Tuesday, June 10. This fully restored, working barge is
the last horse-drawn fly boat in the world. Limited places are
available, so reservations are essential (at the Museum Desk). Meet at
the Museum at 10.30am or at Nantwich Marina at 11am.
-
A Coffee Morning, Plant and Book Sale
will be held in the Museum on Saturday, June 14, from 10am.
-
A visit
to the Hidden Heather Garden of Wybunbury will take place on Sunday, June
22nd, from 2pm to 5pm. This is a last chance to visit the garden at
the home of Mr and Mrs Robin Hollins. Refreshments will be served in the
Village Hall. Cars can be parked in the Village Hall car park. On
display will be an 1819 Wybunbury Wakes poster. Tickets £4, from the
Museum. The last time the Trust visited this location, it
rained all day, and so we are hoping for better weather this time. The
event is open to members of the public.
-
On Saturday, July 26, the Trust will be
holding a Flag Day on Nantwich Square. Please volunteer to help.
Leave your name at the Museum Desk.
-
A Coffee Morning will be held on
Thursday, August 28, 9am to noon, in the
Parish Hall (next to St Mary's Parish Church). Again, we need volunteers
to help to run the event.

Mary to stand down
MARY Francis is standing down at the end of
the year after 27 years of co-ordinating the Museum's fund-raising
events . In the Museum's "Members' Update", an information sheet sent to
all Trust members, she thanks everyone for their help, support and
friendship. She adds that she has "thoroughly enjoyed" the past 27
years. Mary has been a volunteer since the Museum opened in 1980. The
Museum is now looking for a replacement from Trust members.

Death of one of first
Volunteers
WE have learned with sadness of the death of
Miss Dorothy Toft, a lifelong friend and supporter of the Museum. A
retired local teacher, she was one of the first volunteers to respond to
a plea for helpers to staff the Museum Desk when the Museum opened in
1980. A note in the "Members' Update" says: "Her enthusiasm for
everything connected with Nantwich was a great encouragement to us all."

Pancakes and Coffee
THE Pancakes and Coffee Morning held in the
Joseph Heler room on February 5 raised £167 for Museum Trust funds. Our
thanks to all who supported us.
