Re: Accrington should have a museum
Hi Sam, hasn't been for a few Saturdays due to Xmas holidays, sickness, busy time of year for folk etc. etc. Hopefully "service will be resumed" in the New Year. (The Market unit was opened last Saturday).

Thanks for that Gordon, you beat me to it. Have only just got home so couldn't put details up any earlier. We heard off someone they had seen the short "live" version, and they too said it was good publicity.

Re: Accrington should have a museum
Half an hour to go. I am trembling with anticipation . Saw the short version - Bernard Scully did well. I hope it brings in some volunteers , some visitors and some dosh.

Re: Accrington should have a museum
Excellent bit of publicity-about 2 minutes. It looks well. Was that you, Atarah? If I lived nearer I'd be volunteering right away. Congratulations to all involved.

The presenters didn't know what a Ewbank was and assumed the whole of the Empire State Building must be built of 'a lot of bricks'. Just shows - if you're not from Accy you know nowt!

Re: Accrington should have a museum
No, I wasn't anywhere in sight. The crew had been around for hours and hours, when they finally shown it on telly, it was only a really short version. Good fun, but smashing publicity.

Anyone on here who is local, do pop in to see us.
