Yes! We are back! and in the words of our Chair of Trustees, Sir John de Trafford…
“We are truly grateful to you for sticking with us through lockdown. We have tried to stay in touch through newsletters, quizzes and on-line activities. Behind the scenes, there has been a hive of activity with educational programmes, revamps to our storage and changes to the museum displays. We have also improved our website and put our collection of over 20,000 objects on-line.” (Excerpt from a letter from John de Trafford in May's eNewsletter which you hopefully have received).
We on the Friends Committee have been busy learning about our new membership system and preparing new membership cards which are now available at the Welcome Desk for you to collect, if you haven’t already done so. Remember if you have a family membership there will be two cards waiting for you.
Our Open Exhibition is on until 12 June. This year we had over 400 entries which is a fantastic response, and you can view the exhibition, visit our gift shop and catch up with friends in The Old School Cafe from 10am to 4pm Monday to Saturday.
Friends Talks are still taking place on Zoom,the next is Friday 4 June - please see the May newsletter for more information.
We are really grateful for your continuing support of St Barbe during this very difficult year and very much look forward to inviting you to more events and activities as we gradually open up.
We do hope that you are able to visit us again soon.
With our sincere thanks and very best wishes,
Liz Sanders
Membership Secretary
