Friends of Malton Museum lecture

The Friends of Malton Museum are delighted to extend an invitation to their January lecture, to be given by Gillian Waters. Please act by 15th January (see below) if you would like to attend this online event.

Lecture date and time: Thursday 21st January 2021 at 7.30. 

Family History Myths and Lies – Untangling a Petyt Pedigree”. Can we trust the family stories we uncover?

Gillian Waters is an experienced educator with substantial experience of classroom, on-line and museum education, having taught in schools, universities and museums for over 25 years. She has an extensive repertoire of lectures on conquests from Medieval times – however in this rather dreary month we have chosen a more light hearted subject.  We hope you enjoy it.

Illustrated Talk: Project Emily

Wednesday 18th November, 7.30pm. By Zoom!

Project Emily? You may well ask.. Find out, among other things, why nuclear missiles were deployed around Driffield in the early 60s and what role they played in the Cuban Missile Crisis, which brought the world to the brink…

This is another online talk brought to us by the Friends of Malton Museum. Although the nominal deadline has passed, it may be possible to join the lecture by emailing [email protected] without delay.

Malton Museum Appeal for Tour Guides

Malton Museum is planning new outdoor tours and other open-air activities for 2021 when it opens  for the spring season. To make this happen the museum needs more volunteer tour guides and other outdoor helpers.

We are looking for adults or sixth form students to join our team of outdoor volunteers, in particular those who would like to be trained as tour guides or helpers with the tours.

Volunteers do not have to have detailed knowledge about Malton history; just an interest in the past and where you live. Full training will be given firstly via an online professional training session, specifically designed for Malton tours, followed up by briefing sessions from the Museum tour guide team. If you are interested please let the museum know by email by Monday 19th November.

Joining the course does not commit you if you are unsure if it is for you, but it might, we hope, inspire you. Please contact us by social media or by email  at [email protected]
