| The Annual Exhibition proved yet another great success and thanks to a free raffle ticket given to everyone attending we were able to record almost a thousand people passing through the doors. Interest was created around many of the displays particularly with the commemoration of 90 years of the end of World War I and the Coppice Colliery mini-exhibiton on the stage together with lists of all the miners working there during the war and a real life Bevin Boy who served his time there!Pictured right: Ron Mattison & Carol Adshead |  |

Once again the sales of the new book ‘Cheslyn Hay – Happy Days’ passed expectations and despite extra copies being ordered it seems that they will be sold out before Christmas.
We were also delighted to receive more items for our archives including four brass plaques, presented by Mr Alan Woodward to each mechanised float in the old Cheslyn Hay Carnivals plus an illustrated Salem certificate of the Reverend George Crutchley dated 1896.
Thankyou for all your support on the day. |
