Event details
Claytawc Community Centre, St Denys Old Cornwall Society, the Institute of Cornish Studies, and the St Dennis Memory Cafe Hub are developing a new community archive and museum to be housed in a filing cabinet in Claytawc. Over the period of 21st October – 18th November we will be inviting individuals and groups in St Dennis to contribute something to the archive, to be made publicly accessible in our community museum (remember, it must be able to fit into a filing cabinet!)
On 17th November 10 – 2, we will launch the archive, with a programme of talks about the exhibits that we have gathered, and decide how to decorate the filing cabinet. Refreshments and a pasty lunch provided.
