Explosion Museum

It look like if you want to have a look, or another look at the Explosion Museum, may be an idea to go in the next couple of months as it is claimed the Council may be thinking of closing it. I understand that they are saying something about, 'mothballing' until a developer is interested, which they hope will be a short time, though if Fort Brockhurst is anything to go by, it could be many years before it is reopened.

Unfortunately I only sent my cheque for £15 a few weeks ago as a Friend Of Explosion Museum, though I have not received anything yet so they may be holding on until they know what is happening.

I understand the annual cost is about the same for 15,000 visitors to the museum as it cost to provide 5,000 pensioners bus passes and the upgrade to the High Street. Ian
