just been to Divizes museum

[nigel]

well the sun was shining down on us and i was stuck inside (with the teas and cake ) it was a good day lots of people to talk to. I think the museum seemed pleased with what we put on. ;D ;D ;D

Quite a respectable little do. Decent displays and a steady appreciative public. With a couple of potential recruits it looks like healthy growth is on the cards.

Well done to everyone who came to Devizes - John and Patricia, Lisa, Nigel and Henry, Paul, Richard (young), Richard and Helen Wallace (our new members), Daryl and Robb. Thanks also to Daryl for helping out with the prep and pre-site visit.

The sun shone upon us this St Swithin's day and the public enjoyed their visit, The quality of all the displays and the 'delivery' to the public, honed over the last few weeks, was excellent, and the Museum director was delighted.

John and Patricia have lots of pics - whoever loads them up to our website could you please contact him so that we can get a few up. Best to avoid the ones which prominently feature young children's faces, though.

Best of all, I am writing to a number of very interested people...

Next one is Glynde... see you all there!

Have tried to load them up but cannot seem to do it. you can always blur the face of the individual if it is a problem. If anyone wants pics, I can e-mail them.

Best part of the weekend was a chat with an old chap who had detected finds on Roundaway down. It gave a whole explanation of the events and the aftermath. He was delighted to have a reasoned discussion about the battle.

Keith, the chap I just mentioned rang me on Sunday and was full of praises for the Rivers members who spoke to him at our session. He was so delighted with the treatment he received, and the esteem we had for metal detector evidence for round away down.
