Behind the Scenes at the Museum
Deborah Clogg – Head of Collections

Athelstan Museum holds nearly 5,000 objects in its collection. How do we take items into the collection? Why and how do we move them out? How do we know what we have and where it is? How do we look after the collection? How do we make it accessible to the public? Plus a look at some of the fascinating and perhaps surprising objects that you may not know we hold!  

NOTE: Doors open 2.15pm. Tea served from 2.30pm. Talk starts at 3pm.
Tickets avail now – £7 including tea & cake

Booking.com Fraud

I get too many “alerts” to pass on but I know a lot of people use the Booking.com site so I thought I’d pass this one on to everyone.
Their summary is as follows :

Those using the platform Booking.com to book their holidays or accommodation are being warned they could be targeted with emails or messages requesting payments from hotels who have had their account taken over by fraudsters. Between June 2023 and September 2024, Action Fraud received 532 reports from individuals, with a total of £370,000 lost.
