The Mess night of 12 November was well attended and we were delighted to welcome Mr Rob Gray from The Museum of East Dorset, Wimborne.

Rob very kindly brought some artefacts from the museum which gave an insight not only to the history of Wimborne, but of other items too. Those present were able to touch flint stone hand tools to Frozen Charlotte, medical kits to Mary boxes. Rob also gave a background to what a Curator’s job involved, which involved a lot of paperwork to meet standards and working with other areas of expertise.

The time flew by and every one really enjoyed the evening. We all came away having learnt something and will surely be visiting the museum at some point in the future.
