Open For Winter!
On Easter Sunday 23rd March 2008, the Shoreham Aircraft Museum opened its doors to herald the start of the 20th anniversary celebrations since it was founded. ‘Typical’ British weather tried to upset things with a last hurrah from the winter season with icy cold temperatures and a good dusting of snow. Fears that the weather would cause visitor numbers to be low proved unfounded, as happily very many Museum ‘Friends’ and members of the public both young and old turned out to visit Shoreham to keep the Museum and Tearoom busy on Easter Sunday and Bank Holiday Monday.
Despite the freezing conditions, the usual warm atmosphere of the Museum kept spirits high, and comments from visitors ranged from:-
“The exhibits look great and are very informative.”
“I will definitely re-visit when the weather is warmer, and will bring friends too.”
“The steaming hot mug of tea and the jam-filled scone were delightful and welcome.”
“Thank you for the plastic bags to put over my muddy wellies!”
It’s fingers crossed for a pleasantly warm and sunny year ahead – on Sunday’s at least!
