RAF Millom Museum Closure

[Chris Gurney]

Dear Friends
It comes with great regret to announce the closure of the RAF Millom Museum and its entry into Voluntary Liquidation due to escalating debts, a reduction in visitors and severe lack of funding.
If you have any items on display/loan can you please forward a list of the items along with your full contact details to myself so they can excluded from the liquidation, however you may wish to remove your items immediately from the museum for safe keeping. Please note access to the museum is restricted and done so at your own risk due to no liability insurance remaining in force, access can be requested via Mrs Dot Neate who will record who enters and what is removed from the museum.

Being a volunteer I am only able to assist and answer questions on non business related maters, all creditors will be contacted directly by the Liquidator in due time.
If the museum owes you any payments i.e. for items placed in the shop for sale could you please send you request for payment to the business contact below.
Any business related queries should be directed to the former Museum Directors, Mrs Maureen Gleaves and Mr Denis Gleaves who are running the company through the liquidation process,

If you know of anyone else who has items loaned to the museum or is owed any payments can you please ask them to get in touch.
If you have any museum property can you please ensure it is returned as soon as possible.
More information will be sent as and when it becomes available.
Thank you for all of you support over the years

A Sad Day Indeed Lets hopr the Airframes can be saved

[cherskiy]

I was down there in May and there were signs stating it was closed for unforseen reasons - seems this has been coming for a while. Not sure how attractive the airframes standing outside the old shoe factory will be to prospective buyers, though - all in all, a shame that our region has lost a worthwhile attraction.

A shame this has happened so quickly, maybe if we knew it was struggling sooner then a campaign for help from the local council could of been put together and more publicity could of been gotten about it's plight.
