Sywell Aviation Museum was awarded TWO main awards at the Rennaissance East Midlands Heritage Awards last night – Best Exhibition 2007 and even better Museum of the Year 2007!
Apols for shameless plug but we’re so chuffed we wanted to tell someone!

Cheers,

Thanks to all for your kind comments!
LOL! Could be Stuart – it seems everyone needs a concrete bog roll in their life ! π π
Twotter spot on, we didnt think we could cut the mustard with the big boys (our exhibition cost Β£50 vs the runner up which with HLF had six figures to play with!) but perhaps we can…:o
coming back to Sywell we were treated to a stonking Spit display by Peter Teichmann – simply a perfect evening!

Congratulations Ben,
It’s not the amount of money spent on it but the sheer dedication, enthusiasm and effort of volunteers that make the difference.
Displays where a lot of money has been spent are usually sterile
and cold.
Cheers

Congratulations to everyone involved and itβs good to see effort rewarded in what can sometimes be viewed as an intimidating environment – “the professional museum world!”
Have you gone down the Registration / Accreditation route or is that to follow?
Long may you continue to work within the system and not against it, well done!

Great news. Nice to see that all those efforts are recognized!
