VOLUNTEERS

I’m really enjoying being a volunteer at the Dovecote Museum, always meeting lots of new people and making new friends. The museum holds an enormous amount of information about the local area and the people who have lived in the village over the centuries. There are books, pictures, old maps, displays, you name it, it’s there. I even found a picture of myself in one of the old class photos taken at the Russell Infant School, many of which have been donated to the museum. Despite being born and brought up in Wollaton there is so much I didn’t know and such a lot more still to learn. And it’s all run by volunteers – amazing!
