Transport Museum's 'Paint Your Wagon' Event

Our Chair Callum Taylor and Secretary Marion Patten greeting Borough Mayor Lindsay McCarthy-Calvert

Last Sunday crowds were at the museum despite the inclement weather. We were there with our tombola stall and Hester display. We were kept busy, we did not take much home. We were entertained by the U3a choir and the Ukulele band which really gave a great atmosphere with good acoustics in the large old bus garage.

A ride on one of their buses and a look at their new mural was on the cards for many in the museum’s Heritage Open Day Event.

Visiting VIPs came to visit.
