Our thanks to those who have helped us raise some of the thousand pounds to pay for the wheel repair, either by buying a raffle ticket for the Shackleton whisky or by making a generous cash donation. Lets hope it gets us through the coming year without further incident.
We have been similarly been buoyed up by the busiest year in the Museum's his- tory, largely due to coach tours .These are a new direc- tion for us, made possible by our splendid new building.
The New exhibition is of Paisley, Kashmiri and other Oriental Shawls.
As regular visitors would expect, they are enhanced by costumes of the period, and furnishings which complement them.
