Use it or Lose it

One of the reasons that Herne Bay Museum was vulnerable to closure was that of all the museums in the Council’s service, its visitor figures were the least impressive. They had in fact been dropping for the last couple of years. One of the things we can do as a group is to help reverse this trend.
The community needs to be more involved in its museum and the Friends can help by acting as a conduit for ideas and initiatives. As we get bigger we can become the voice of the town with some hope of being heard. Write to the newsletter or the website with your ideas, moans and grumbles. Don’t forget to put in the things you like or want more of, and don't forget to visit. Pop in when passing, add a click to the counter, and urge others to do the same.
