Re: Accrington should have a museum
 

Thanks for the suggestion Bob, I might just do that. I do think my great grandad's story deserves a wider audience.

Cheers

Sue

Groove will certainly be at this get together to give his support.

Re: Accrington should have a museum
 

We agree with you Susie ... the room at Haworth would have just been a lovely little taster whilst we looked around and the possibility of funding.

Not easy ...can't just say... 'that building' would be great... yes, but most are privately owned,etc., and would have to be bought. Even H.B.C. owned buildings would be difficult for them to hand it over for a museum as funding would be needed ...not easy to extract from them in this period of cut backs.

Any wealthy benefactors out there ?

Thanks for your story of your great grandad. See! Amazing what people come up with. :)

Dang, can't make the meeting tomorrow... have another.. :(

Re: Accrington should have a museum
 

We now have a new group in Hyndburn, hoping to get a Museum/Heritage centre off the ground.

IT IS BEING CALLED HYNDBURN HERITAGE and COMMUNITY GROUP
The first meeting, where we hope to have lots of folk attend, is to be held at

THE PEEL PARK HOTEL, Turkey Street, ACCRINGTON
on
MONDAY 28th NOVEMBER, 2011 - 7.15 for 7.30 start

Now that we have an official name, we can really get "stuck in". It will NOT be easy, we know that, but, we are dedicated, enthusiastic and "raring to go".

We would LOVE to have as many folk as possible to turn up to support us and hopefully, join our group

Please put this date in your diary - 28.11.2011 at 7.15ish.

Noted, and on my calendar.

Re: Accrington should have a museum
 

I'm not welcome at the Peel Park, but perhaps I can find some other ways to help. I'll put my thinking cap on.

:confused::p:confused:

Why?

You don't come across as the rowdy type.

They've let me in, which has set a precedent when it comes to allowing trouble makers in.

:D

I am but well know the feeling.:rofl38::rofl38::rofl38::rofl38:

Re: Accrington should have a museum
 

It's a long story. I was a regular for years. Without bad-mouthing anyone I really can't say more - and I'd rather let people make their own judgements. But rest assured I did absolutely nothing wrong.

I have a few ideas on how I can help the cause. I'll post them soon once they're better thought out.

Museum plan to save Hyndburn's heritage (From Lancashire Telegraph)

Sounds promising, so far.

:)

Re: Accrington should have a museum
 

It does sound promising,pity a place more central can't be found though.

Re: Accrington should have a museum
 

Hi, polite reminder - we are having a "Museum" meeting at The Peel Park Hotel on Turkey Street, Acc, on Mon 28th Nov and would love to see some of our Accyweb folk there. 7.15 for 7.30 start. We will be in the back room

Re: Accrington should have a museum
 

Here is the official poster we are putting out, there should be some photos at the top of the poster, but couldnt figure out how to include them on Accy Web. :confused: We really would love the support of as many folk as possible. Might YOU be able to pop up and join us? You might even want to join the group?

Re: Accrington should have a museum
 

Well done Atarah. You are a living museum piece.
