Dear colleague

This week’s crop of museum items from around the region and county:

1. Firstly, may I make an urgent plea that if you haven’t already filled in the online SHARE training needs survey (see MiC News 50) that you please do so before the extended deadline of 9am on Tuesday 31 May? This is rather important, but forgive me if you have already made your submission. I know eight museums in the County have already filled it in but all museums should fill it in to help SHARE plan their training. It is at http://www.smartsurvey.co.uk/s/inform-SHARE-2016/.
2. The Federation (SEMFed) have two committee vacancies; let me know if you’d like to see the role descriptions.
3. Rachael Brown of the Ouse Washes Landscape Partnership has asked me to tell museums in the OWLP area about two free photography workshops. They are aimed at beginners to intermediate skill levels and although numbers are very limited preference will go to project partners. Details are as follows: Wednesday 20 July or Monday 25 July; 10am – 4pm, lunch and refreshments included; Rector’s Hall, Earith, PE28 3PX. The booking for the workshops is online at http://www.smartsurvey.co.uk/s/HMWDX/. Alternatively volunteers can phone Rachael on 01353 865037 but note she is on leave from till 30 May.
4. I attach the latest BAFM newsletter.

Enjoy the Bank Holiday
