    Hi Kate only just noticed this, would be interested to know how the events went? Especially the one about collecting objects for the museum - the mind boggles!

    the film got cancelled because there were only a handful of people booked, the politician's talk got cancelled because of snow that day, nobody turned up to the book group or to the jewellery workshops. the panel discussion was a success with maybe 20 in the audience. the reminiscing and the photography went ahead but only had two participants do each. and as far as i'm aware nobody donated anything to the museum.

    Shame. It sounded like a really good idea, too. What kind of things did the panel discuss?
