Buckland Project
- 21 April 2010 10:5448409I've just had an email from Lynn Steward, Customer Services Development Librarian, about an open day at Buckland Community Centre, Roosevelt Road, on 8 May (10.00-3.00).
They'd love to hear memories and share photos from people's lives in Buckland, and will be bringing along local maps and log books. English Heritage are to bring mediaeval costumes to try, and there's an Anglo-Saxon jewlerry workshop. Traditional games led by staff from the local children's centre, and, I hear, pies and cakes to buy. The mobile library will be there also.
Sounds good! It's free entry and all are welcome. Contact Dover Library for more information - 01304 204241The Dover War Memorial Project

The title looks a bit like I was planning a sequel to the Dover War Memorial Project. Kind of "Son of the DWMP"!, as it were.
But yes, caution advised. Costumes to dress in, food to fuel, traditional games - and maps! Believe me, when I put on my Morris kit and blacked my face, I was transformed. Who knows what might happen up in Buckland - or where it might spread?
Seriously, it looks a good fun event, and certainly one I'd have had in my diary for my children when they were smaller (Indeed, were Susannah not in the middle of her undergrad exams, it's exactly the kind of thing she'd really enjoy now, and would love to hear memories and see photos).
I hope it goes well.The Dover War Memorial Project
