A great visit last night to
Helston Museum with Redruth Boys' Brigade as part of
Heart of Conflict, our work marking the centenary of World War One. We were VERY grateful to Tracey Clowes for opening the Museum especially for the group. Also to Mike Semmens for driving the minibus over.
It was a very important date to visit - 4 August 2015 was exactly 101 years on from the start of the War.
The group of boys (and one girl) had the chance to handle objects and ask lots of questions. This visit followed on from
our visit to the Boys' Brigade meeting in Redruth Wesleyan in April.

What a privilege to visit a museum with one else there and having the curator to ourselves!
