Museum Thanks Canon Watson for Years of Support

It was a perfect sunny Saturday afternoon and the Balsam Centre Garden was looking its best for the Museum and History Society Garden Party. The party was arranged as a thank you for all the stewards who have been on duty since the new Museum attached to Wincanton Library has been open, that is on every Wednesday, Friday and Saturday morning.

It was also the ideal occasion for the committee to thank Canon Alan Watson who after more years than he cares to remember has been one of the Museum Trustees and who has decided it is time for him to retire from that role. In thanking him our president Frank Foster and our chairman Terry Stanford spoke of his unremitting support of the museum over the years and of the recent moves taken to make the most of contemporary computer technology to record and display our artefacts and records. They also spoke of his dry wit.

Forty people attended and everyone enjoyed a great cream tea. Here Alan and his wife Rosemary receive a small token of appreciation from Frank and Terry.
