Friends of Wrexham Museum

By SANDRA ALLEN, Acting Chair, Friends of Wrexham Museum

The objectives of Friends of Wrexham Museum are to promote, support and assist in all aspects the work of Wrexham County Borough Council’s Museums and Heritage Services. We are not part of the Council, but are a charitable trusta private body run by its members. The Museum, as I am sure you are aware, will be having a complete 'make over' to accommodate the new National Welsh Football Museum - this is very exciting.

The Friends of Wrexham Museum, over many years, have contributed to various funds to secure items and services to enhance the Museum's collections. Most recently, we paid for book vouchers for children's competitions. We have also helped to contribute towards 'dressing up' clothes for the school children when they visit to study various periods of history.

We hold monthly meetings for our members, (except in July and August), when we meet on the third Tuesday in the month. Our membership is around 50 and we always have a good turn-out each month. During our meetings we have a raffle and refreshments after the lecture.

I am Acting-Chair. I am responsible for advertising and for arranging our speakers. I choose a varied collection of people to speak. You will see the selection of these at: www.essentialsmag.co.uk/whats-on

We have a sliding scale for membership which covers young people, pensioners, disabled and to those working. Visitors are also welcome.
