Thank you to everyone who made time to join the team for the AGM, held in the Broad Street Library so the popular LEGO exhibition could be enjoyed. Miriam Griffiths (Chair) gave her farewell Chairman's Report as she stepped down after three years at the helm. Jane Adams (Secretary) has been appointed Chair for purposes of the Charity Commission's regulations although a rolling Chair among the trustees is now in operation until further notice. New trustees are welcomed and encouraged! Christy Bolderson (Treasurer) presented the accounts for the period 2018-2019 and asked if there are any accountants in the midst who could spare an 'hour or two' to oversee the accounts, then please do contact her for further details. A brief outline of Herefordshire Council's procurement process for the Museum Service was presented by MLA Manager, Jon Chedgzoy. The formal meeting was followed by an entertaining talk about Herefordshire's Museums by Dave Marshall, Chair of the Cider Museum, member of the Herefordshire Cultural Partnership, Chair of Friends of Herefordshire Museums and Arts and an introduction to the 'Brick History' by Judy Stevenson. ...

HMSSG trustees are very pleased to have been able to find grant funding and practical support to cover all the extra activities around the Lego Brick History exhibition. Engaging NMiTE in the project has been very exciting, and the imagination and energy to be found among the young people there has made a big difference to the whole project. We have been able to secure grant funding to cover all the hands-on and educational activities which will be alongside the history displays, so making visits more fun for both children and adults, and adding to the experience of schools visits too. Several schools have made models of Herefordshire buildings, which will be in the Museum and in shop windows on the city trail. Lego characters will also be present, but hidden around the Museum, so keep an eye out for them when you visit. You can book your tickets here www.herefordshire.gov.uk/legobrickhistory

Grant support has been awarded by Hereford City Council, FHMA, The Howard Bulmer Charitable Trust and The Becket Bulmer Fund at the Herefordshire Community Foundation. ... See MoreSee Less
