As we carry on into Winter numerous BCWM staff members were hard at work on Sunday Jan 9th carrying out a range of tasks. These ranged from removing weeds on the roof of the museum, undertaking stock checks of our merchandise and other items, and building elements of our new shop

A busy day at the BCWM...

We were open on August 15th and were happy to see that we were almost fully booked for the day with visitors. This sort of attendance and interest really helps the museum to stay alive, so your visits and support are much appreciated.
