Saturday 13th May update – temporary exhibits<\/h2>\n

Temporary exhibits room<\/h4>\n

A productive day spent clearing a room to house our temporary exhibits (‘pop-up’ exhibitions), which can be changed regularly to keep things fresh and interesting.\u00a0 An old noticeboard tucked away behind filing cabinets at the rear of the building is now back up on the wall again (thanks Ray!<\/em>) and with the addition of some display boards we now have the opportunity to display photos and artifacts that we may not always have space for.\u00a0 It will also allow us to select some of our objects on display and make them centre pieces, adding extra research notes to them, rather than be crowded in a cabinet among other items.\u00a0 Alternatively this area could house YOUR<\/strong> collection.\u00a0 Yes, that’s right.\u00a0 Perhaps you have some photos or objects relating to Brandon’s heritage?\u00a0 If so then just let us know and we will assist you in displaying your pride and joy to the wider community.<\/p>\n\n

Reception area<\/h4>\n

Opposite the temporary exhibit room is the\u00a0 reception room and library.\u00a0 There is now space created to display photos and postcards of Brandon landscapes from years ago – showing how the town once looked.\u00a0 We can even show you how the Heritage Centre once looked, as a Fire Station.\u00a0 Did you know the station once had an outbuilding attached to the front?\u00a0 Well we can show you where that was.<\/p>\n

First visitors<\/h3>\n

We are not in a position to open to the public, although we are working hard to be ready for our Open Day on 4th June.\u00a0 So please come along and visit us then.\u00a0 However we had our first visitors today.\u00a0 An American couple, visiting family in and around Brandon, came to the centre for info about local history and attractions to visit.\u00a0 Although they didn’t stay long enough for a wander round the centre, they did stop for a quick chat and left a donation of \u00a32.\u00a0 Sadly I forgot to ask them to sign the visitor’s book, but they promised to visit on the Open Day, so we may catch up again.\u00a0 Taking of the Open Day.\u00a0 Preparations are under way, so make sure you visit us when you are at the carnival.\u00a0 Sunday 4th June.<\/p>\n
