East Midlands Heritage Awards 9 June 2015

Written By Susan Clayton

Flintham Museum volunteers were 'highly commended' twice in the East Midlands Heritage Awards for their project 'Meet Flintham's pre-World War One families in 1913'.

The first recognition was in the Heart of the Community category and the second was a Special Award given by the judges.

The judges' comments included:

  • A Living Museum/real village

  • Imaginative - a good idea done well on a modest budget

  • Unique approach - would be a great idea for many villages/small towns to use when they have a significant historical event to commemorate

  • Liked the intergenerational element

  • Well planned

  • Significant number of people involved - research/new skills/young volunteers

  • Nice media cover
