Newark Air Museum News 2016

[NAM Updater]

As with previous years I thought I’d create a new Newark Air Museum News thread to use for short updates and news snippets from eastern Nottinghamshire.

As with the previous thread as the year progresses details of museum activities will be updated in here!

This could include such things as the Indoor Aeroboot / Aerojumble Table Top Sale – 5 March 2016; etc. and other event news, which can also be found in here!

Many thanks to those people who have visited the museum in 2015 and we hope to see you again this year and a Happy New Year to you all.

Whilst the museum is closed today (1 January) we’re back open at 10am tomorrow, Saturday 2 January 2016.
