Chairman, Roger Radcliffe, warmly welcomed Museum Stewards to their annual end of season Coffee Morning at the Museum on 6 November. He thanked them for coming and read some of the many appreciative comments in the Visitors’ Book. Among the suggestions Stewards had made were completing the Thomas’ Shaft Mine Model and raising the annual subscription.
Mike Furness, our Shop Manager, announced the top sales team as the Thursday Titans, who had sold £2309 worth of goods, with the runners up being the Wednesday Wonders with £1755. The runners up for sales per visitor were the Sunday Saints (£2.28) behind the Thursday Titans. The best Sales Day, stewarded by Clare Murton and John Oaksford, was Friday 27 September when an amazing £269 worth of goods was sold. Overall, 2420 individual items were sold in the shop.
The total taken through the till this year, including the online shop, was £13,865 compared to £10,678 last year.
Best sellers were Clive Benney books (£1671), followed by Blue Hills Tin (£1427) and Baileys Bodmin Pewter (£1231).
Roger Radcliffe commented that these were tremendous figures to achieve. He thanked Mike Furness, Stewards Rota Organiser, John Oaksford, and all the Stewards for their hard work and enthusiasm.
