Annual General Meeting 2021

26/8/2021

 
Voting closed at 17:00 on 9 August. 97 forms were returned to Sue Kelsall, providing 127 votes, so a majority of our members. Everyone voted to accept the Trustees’ report, the summary of accounts with the Treasurer’s Report and re-elected the Trustees listed i.e. Lucy Kelsall, Sue Kelsall, John Phillips and Tony Price, and Alan Crosier as Honorary Auditor

Annual General Meeting 2021

4/6/2021

 
The Friends’ 2021 AGM would normally be held at the end of June. As that is very close to the possible end of restrictions, we have decided to run the AGM by post again this year. We will follow the same timescale as last year as that seemed to work well. This means:
Picture
  1. a nomination form for any additional Trustees and an explanation of the postal arrangements should have been received by all members following posting on 1 June.
  2. on 1 July all AGM papers will be sent to all members on the latest membership list. These will include the Trustees’ Report; the Treasurer’s report and 2020/21 accounts; Membership Secretary’s Report and a voting form including the election of Trustees and the Honorary Auditor.
All voting papers will need to be returned to the Chairman, Sue Kelsall, by 17:00 on 9 August.

​A full report of the outcome of the AGM will be put on The Friends’ Website shortly afterwards.

Honeywood Museum will reopen on Thursday 20 May!

18/5/2021

 
We’re delighted to announce that Honeywood Museum will reopen on Thursday 20 May, Thursdays to Saturdays 10:00 to 17:00. We’re excited to welcome you back for a thoroughly enjoyable visit. You can book your visit through our eventbright page where you can also see any new exhibitions, events and fun family activities that we’ll have available. Walk-in visits will also be available.
 
What will my visit be like?
 
Your safety, and that of our staff, is our highest priority. That’s why we’ve introduced timed visits to stagger entry flow and help with social distancing. A ticket allows a group of up to six people from the same household or support bubble to visit the building for one hour. Visitors are also required to wear face coverings during their visit. Combined with a one-way route and an enhanced cleaning regime, including hand sanitisers on entry, we are pleased to be welcoming our visitors back safely.
 
The Friends' Shop

Our Shop at Honeywood Museum, with its range of unusual gifts and publications, will be open throughout the Museum's opening hours.

Honeywood Tea Room
 
Honeywood's Tea Room opening times remain unchanged, Monday to Thursday 10:00-18:00 and Friday to Sunday 10:00-18:30.

Little Holland House is currently closed until further notice due to project works.

We're still adding to our Archive pages

Exhibitions News

21/1/2021

 
As far as possible, we will aim to extend the exhibitions that are on display, to create an opportunity for visitors to see them when we are able to reopen. We are very grateful to our community partners for their understanding in enabling us to do this. This will include the Fairies Woodland Party, There’s No Place Like Home, and the Honeywood Embroidery Group exhibitions at Honeywood Museum.
 
Until then, we are pleased to be able to give a taster of all three exhibitions online with accompanying short films on our Exhibitions page.
