SWAFFHAM<br />
A simple solution to wasting less through<br />
the sharing of good quality food.<br />
Iceni Partnership<br />
Community Centre, The Campingland,<br />
<strong>Swaffham</strong>, PE37 7RB<br />
The artefacts on display are chosen as much for<br />
their connection with the town as for any aesthetic<br />
value and we are increasingly gathering archives of<br />
organisations that no longer exist.<br />
By relabelling the museum to Heritage we are not<br />
only emphasising our rich history but also underlining<br />
our wish to collect, share, and make increasingly<br />
accessible to all, our considerable store of artefacts<br />
and documents. Little by little our 18th century<br />
building is embracing 21st century technology to<br />
make this possible.<br />
Wanted – Volunteers<br />
We are currently looking for volunteers to work in the<br />
Museum. We require Stewards for 3 hr sessions (10-<br />
1 or 1-4) And help with the Education team to work<br />
mainly with school visits. An interest in Egyptology<br />
would be helpful. For further information contact<br />
Steve Gregory 01760 721230<br />
Open 10am to 4pm Mon to Fri. Sat: 10am to 1pm<br />
