Dear colleague
A few bits of news this week, as we approach the holiday:
This is my last MiC news posting but my successor will I’m sure be in touch early next year. In the meantime may I say how much I’ve enjoyed working with you and I wish you a very Happy Christmas and prosperity in 2019.
Dear colleague
The post of Museums Partnership Officer for Cambridgeshire is now open for applications, with closing date 3 January. For details see https://www.publicsectorjobseast.co.uk/Museums%20Partnership%20Officer-Cambridge%20Shire%20Hall?jobId=17049&JobIndex=1&categoryList=&minsal=0&maxsal=200000&workingpattern=&keywords=museum&employee=1&postcode=&Distance=20&AdvertiseOn=2

Dear colleague
Firstly this week, hearty congratulations to Dr Liz Hide who has just been appointed as Director of the Sedgwick Museum. Liz was of course Chair of MiC until the end of last year. In that role, and as University Museums Officer, she was a great champion of all our museums and may I say an esteemed colleague. It’s great to ‘have her back with us’ leading one of the world’s most important geological museums. See
Secondly, and with apologies for the short notice, I attach details of tomorrow’s A14 Archaeology Open Day, in Huntingdon.
Best wishes
Dear colleague
There was a very interesting presentation by Jamie Everitt on Cambridgeshire museums’ benchmarking results, at this morning’s MiC AGM at Kettle’s Yard. Jamie handed out copies of the printed report but I have taken most of them to distribute to MiC members. Please let me know if you would like copies so that I can get them to you.
Those who were present this morning will have heard me explain that after six years as MPO I shall be leaving at Christmas, as I am moving to Manchester. There will be a break in the mailing of MiC News after I leave, but I hope it will be resumed as soon as my successor is in post.
