The Master’s Weekend took place in Wiltshire and Gloucestershire in very nice late Spring weather. As well as some splendid dining, and some dancing on Saturday night, there were visits to the Great Western Railway STEAM museum, the REME museum at MOD Lynham and the fine Roman town of Cirencester where the Civic Society provided guides for a Town walk.
For those wondering – the weekend is open to all. Look out for next years weekend around the same time of year in Birmingham.
The Master was delighted to represent our Company at Evensong in St Paul’s on the 80th anniversary of VE Day as a guest of the City of London Corporation. He was accompanied by his mother who had served in the Land Army and had, the previous day, been interviewed about her experiences by the BBC. The service was extremely moving and included a Sermon by Music that was exceptionally poignant.
On Monday, 31st March, the Manchester SIM Hub visited the World Museum Liverpool for a guided tour led by three expert curators: Alan, Wendy, Emma and PhD student Sabrina. Their deep knowledge and enthusiasm brought the museum’s collections to life as we explored Liverpool’s rich heritage in scientific instrumentation, horology, and the astronomy. We even had the opportunity to review some of the artefacts up close during the afternoon session.
Thank you again to the museum team for a superb visit.
Many thanks Sam White
