To erect two World War Two style Nissen Huts on Langham Lodge Farm (part of the old airfield site).

 

One Nissen Hut will be the visitor centre, with toilets, refreshment facilities, library and a meeting room.

 

The second hut will be the actual museum, displaying photographs, maps, memorabilia. and telling the story of -

Buy a Building Block for the Museum!

 

Our latest fund-raising idea to help meet the cost of not only erecting the two Nissen Huts for the Museum, but also to help defray the cost of establishing the services required, along with providing the necessary cabinets and display material, is to ask members of the public to buy a building block for £20.

 

It is proposed that the whole projected cost of the museum development be divided into £20 blocks, so people may purchase one or more blocks (there is no limit!). It is hoped that once the museum is established a 'Roll of Honour' board would be placed inside, with the names of all those people that had donated to the programme.  Naturally, the wishes of anyone who wishes to donate anonymously would be strictly respected.
