VE Day Chat at the Newton Stewart Museum

Newton Stewart Museum

I had a flying visit today to the Newton Stewart Museum to discuss VE day following a emailing conversation. It was great to meet the museum workers who were taking a break, they have been spring cleaning the Museum in readiness for the big opening at the start of the season at the start of April.

We had a chat about the Cree Valley Community Councils plans for VE day, and we talked about what we were hoping to organise for Saturday the 9th of May 2020 for May Day. And I think our little tea party and the Newton Stewart Museum are going to have a little bit of a collaboration celebration that we might both do something on the Saturday, and we can tell our guests about what's happening at the other venue so that visitors can enjoy both activities.

The ladies at the Museum were really helpful and said they'd help me to source local history photos of VE day 1945 for us to show at the tea party, which will be so interesting to see.

Can't wait - I love a little party!
