On June 28th the Friends of Dad’s Army Museum Thetford will hold it’s AGM at the museum from 6pm.All Friends are welcome but we do ask that you let us know that you will be attending.
On Saturday August 25th as part of the Thetford Festival we will be holding a Museum day.Plans are still being made and will be published later.
The museum was pleased to welcome some visitors to museum last Sunday (May 20th) who arrived in some wonderful transport,five lovely Austin 7 cars.On a Sunday drive they arranged with us to call in and have a cuppa at the Marigold tea room.The club was the Suffolk branch of the Essex Austin 7 owners club and they meet every month at the Greyhound in Ixworth.
The museum was pleased to welcome 50 members of the Mildenhall Register on Saturday May 12th.The Mildenhall register is the 15,90,140 & 622 bomber squadrons Association.The members enjoyed tea & cake in Marigolds and some went on the Dad’s Army Trail.Have a look at their website to see what they do.
The museum team was on the road again on May 8th.This time we made the short journey to Garboldisham.The team gave a presentation to the local WI group who joined in the fun by singing the Dad’s Army theme tune.Our Captain Mainwaring (Mick Whitman) was on hand to judge the flower and badge competition.He also drew the raffle.
This Saturday (May 19th at 18.30) the BBC will be showing the Dad’s Army episode called Absent Friends.This episode was first show in October 1970 but has missing from the repeat runs due to the mention of the IRA .Following the Good Friday agreement a few years ago it seems that the BBC have decided that the time is now right to include this very funny episode in the current run of repeats.
