A Trip Down South

                                             One of my volunteer roles is as a Trustee of the Royal Military Police Museum. Today would have been our summer Trustee meeting so it seems appropriate dedicating this blog post to the fantastic team at the RMP Museum. Based at Southwick Park in Hampshire, the Museum is close to my heart as it showcases the history of the Corps in which my dad served. For his 80th birthday, I took him on a visit and he was treated to a personal guided tour by the curator, Richard and his assistant, Matthew. Dad loved it, reminiscing about Army life and even recognising some of the equipment which was on display in the Museum. A few years ago the Museum Director asked if I would become a Trustee, a piece of news I excitedly shared with dad. He was really supportive, and it was that enthusiasm and the personal connection with th...

Museum Online Quizzing from the Comfort of Your Own Home

We have not found it easy to move our inhouse activity online during lockdowns. Staff capacity through furlough and pandemic related tasks, has not enabled us to explore engaging with our online audiences as much as we would have liked too. However, one activity we have managed to move online is our regular quiz.

Tentatively, we discussed how we would host this, who would write the questions, how we would market the event, how to ensure it would go as smoothly as possible.

We were lucky to be a...

Armed Forces Week - Reserves Day

Image
It is Armed Forces week. And today is Reserves day. 'Reservists give up their spare time to serve in the Reserve Forces, balancing their civilian life with a military career to ensure that should their country require them, they would be ready to serve as part of the military. The Reserve Forces make up approximately one sixth of our Armed Forces personnel and as such are integral to protecting the nation’s security at home and overseas, particularly providing capability in specialist areas such as medical and cyber.'  Excerpt from the Armed Forces Day Website The Reserves are often called on in times of need, from the local floods to the coronavirus pandemic and have been a great support when working with veterans in the local community.  We are lucky to have a good working relationship with C Company, 4th Battalion, The Duke of Lancaster's Regiment. Based in Workington, they can also be found in Burma Block on the corner of the Castle site in Carlisle.  As a Museum, it ...
