Not just a night at the Museum

In the past few months COGs have helped out our local museum. East Surrey Museum is based in Station Road Caterham and houses a surprisingly large number of interesting objects. Firstly, we were asked to help support the purchase of a new display case and to provide some funds for the dinosaur corner. The children’s section of the museum houses many toys from our childhood but also current toys that any visitors can play with, perhaps while their parents or carers are having a look around! Secondly COGs helped out with the provision of new chairs with arms for patrons to sit on, an access ramp for wheelchair users and a loop system for those with appropriate hearing aids. These last three items struck a chord with the Club and we were very pleased to fully fund all of them,

As part of our members social activities, we were granted a special after-hours tour of the museum and these two photos show Lion President Rita Reissland with Chairman of East Surrey Museum, Mark Wiles showing off the new chairs and dinosaur corner.
