1.4 Cymdeithas Amgueddfeydd - Adborth o'r Gynhadledd
Beyond the Bucket and Spade: cultivating Cornish Tourism. It was interesting
to learn how a new team of people had attempted to turn round the fortunes
of Penwith and how success had caused some conflict with the local
population. Rural counties with poor economies definitely need cultural
tourism to provide a boost. In Cornwall the intervention of the Tate meant
that the museums and arts of that entire district benefited. Penlee House in
Penzance was a struggling local authority museum but now, with the support
of the Tate and the council's change of policy on heritage, a new art
gallery with quality special exhibitions has been created and the visitor
figures have doubled. Now there's a case to prove that partnership working
can be truly beneficial.

3.2 'Don't Buy Looted Goods By Accident' David Lammy Tells Heritage Bodies
Museums, libraries and archives must work to ensure that they do not
accidentally acquire material that has been stolen or looted, Culture
Minister David Lammy said today.
New Guidelines published today by the DCMS, urge cultural institutions to:
*	ask for evidence, or provenance, of the object's history before
acquiring it; 
*	refuse to accept anything when there are doubts about its origins;
and 
*	seek expert advice when they are unsure of how to progress.

6.2 By All Reasonable Means: Inclusive access to the outdoors for disabled
people
The Countryside Agency has produced a framework for good practice in working
with disabled people to improve and increase their access to the outdoors.
It aims to provide clear and detailed advice for countryside managers on how
to improve access opportunities for disabled people. The document guides
land managers, land owners and others, through a process for working more
closely with disabled people - actively including disabled people in these
processes.
In the wake of the enactment of a major new piece of disability legislation,
the guide is seen as a 'live document'. It will be updated in the light of
experience and statutory developments, especially those relating to the
Disability Discrimination Act 2005 (DDA 2005).

6.3 Herian - Develop Your Local Heritage 
Are you seeking to realise the potential of the heritage on your doorstep?
Do you have a heritage project that you want to develop?
Herian is a company representing a multi-sectoral partnership of South Wales
local authorities, national statutory bodies and voluntary and private
organizations. It aims to aid regeneration of industrial South Wales through
the promotion of heritage tourism. In particular it seeks to facilitate
measures that will provide coherent and easily accessible information for
visitors and engage local people in projects to improve the heritage
'product' on the ground.
During November 2005, we are holding a series of short meetings across South
Wales. We will tell you more about the work of HERIAN in your region, and
give you an opportunity to "feed in" to the area plans for developing
heritage locally.
In addition, we will be looking to assist ten projects to develop. Come
along and tell us why your project should be the one of the ten which
receives help and support over the next six months.

6.5 Group For Education In Museums 
You may be aware that new legislation has been proposed to ban the use and 
possession of replica weapons. Whilst targetted at their use in criminal 
acts, the law could have the unfortunate side effect of making historical 
re-enactments with replica weapons illegal. There are already proposed 
exemptions for use by museums and by actors. Re-enactors are calling for a 
specific exemption to include people who make, possess and use replica 
weapons for historical re-enactments. The bill goes to committee in Mid 
November, so re-enactors are asking for our support now to ensure that this 
exemption is included. Contact details:  http://www.gem.org.uk/

Making your Mark - New Training Film from MDA
The labelling and marking of museum objects is the essential first step in
ensuring that they are managed effectively. Museum professionals need to
know how to mark the objects in their care in a way that is non-destructive
and reversible.
To address the need for a clear demonstration of current best practice in
this important area, MDA has produced Making your Mark, a new short training
film which outlines the fundamental principles of good labelling and
marking, and provides clear, close-up demonstrations of techniques for
different kinds of objects.
The video will be shown as part of all MDA training courses. It available
for £27.50 to MDA members or £37.00 to non-members. If you would like to
order your copy see http://www.mda.org.uk/texts.htm
MDA also publishes a fact sheet on Labelling and Marking, which you can

9.2 Important change to hazard classification in Europe:
A number of hydrocarbon solvents that may be used in conservation
treatments, that were previously classified as "Harmful" have been
reclassified as "Toxic" and/or Carcinogenic" in the EC.  In brief, they are:
Stoddard Solvent (British Standard white spirit, type A, BS 245, 1976) CAS
Registry number 8052 41 3		EC EINICS # 232 489 3 
Petroleum purum...	CAS number 64742 82 1		EC# 265 185 4
Petroleum puriss..	CAS number 8032 32 4  		EC# 232 453 7 
White spirit Type 1... CAS number 64742 82 1		EC# 265 185 4
White spirit Type 2...	CAS number 64741 92 0		EC# 265 095 5	
White spirit Type 3...	CAS number 64742 48 9		EC# 265 150 3

The hazard data information supplied by chemical companies may be out of
date. Conservators using hydrocarbon products are advised to check  the CAS
or EC numbers of the products to check if they correspond to these types. 

There should not be the same level of concern about household grade white
spirits; a leading manufacturer has confirmed that they have changed their
formulation so that existing hazard warnings apply.

	12.2 Lottery Bill
	Heritage Link is concerned that the proposed changes in the way
Lottery money is distributed could affect the Heritage Lottery Fund more
significantly than other distributors due to the long term and often phased
nature of the capital projects it supports. The briefing note recommended
that the implications of Clauses 8 and 9 but particularly Clause 8 are very
carefully scrutinised bearing in mind that their impact will vary from one
distributor to another. For the full Briefing Note see the Heritage Link
website www.heritagelink.org.uk <http://www.heritagelink.org.uk> under
News/For the Record.

13.2 UK Historic Environment Research Group (UKHERG)
http://www.heritagelink.org.uk/sector.asp#other
What is UKHERG? The Power of Place and Force for Our Future (Dec 2001)
identified the need for a co-ordinated approach to research into the
historic environment. ... many strategic research needs and issues are
common to the whole of the UK and valuable work is being done on the
situation in other countries, and UK wide, which needs to be fed in to the
picture.
In 2002 the UK Historic Environment Research Group (UKHERG) was set up. The
aim of the group is to co-ordinate socio-economic research across the sector
and to share knowledge and practice.
It is intended that any relevant research identified by members can be
shared through an email bulletin which Ian Baxter at the Heritage Futures
Network, Glasgow Caledonian University is co-ordinating. To join the email
forum send an email to: [log in to unmask]

13.5 Gwyl Peter Warlock Festival, Montgomery 16, 17 and 18 Rhagfyr 2005 
Montgomery Civic Society and Old Bell Museum are hosting a festival to mark
the 75th anniversary of the death of the composer Peter Warlock who wrote
some of the finest British music of the 20th century whilst living near
Montgomery at Cefnbryntalch.  A prestigious programme of lectures, workshops
and concerts will be held in Montgomery's historic buildings which Warlock
would have known. The young tenor, Andrew Kennedy, the winner of the Cardiff
Singer of the World Award 2005 will be performing at the Saturday evening
recital in the church and Professor Bernard Knight, the retired home office
pathologist and crime writer will be re-examining the evidence surrounding
the death of Warlock.   There will be an exhibition in the Old Bell Museum
portraying the background to Warlock's music written in Wales.
A full programme of events can be found on the Old Bell Website:

13.6 Loan of the Rhind Mathematical Papyrus from the British Museum
The Egypt Centre is pleased to announce the loan of perhaps the most
important Egyptian mathematical papyrus - The Rhind Mathematical Papyrus
(BM10058) from the British Museum. The loan was made possible through the
generous support of various Swansea University academic departments, but
particularly the Department of Mathematics and School of Engineering. It is
intended to enhance and publicize the Centre's existing innovative schools'
mathematics workshops through the loan of this artefact. We also have a week
of special half term mathematics activities booked for the week of the 26th
of May 2006 for any interested children.

13.7 Trails: England Expects - On The Trail Of Admiral Lord Nelson
As well as the events being staged for Trafalgar 200, there are many museums
and locations across the UK where Nelson's deeds are remembered.
Monmouth, on the Welsh border, may not be on the coast but thanks to a
bequest from Lady Llangattock the Nelson Museum and Local History Centre was
founded there in 1924. It includes a large collection of his letters, his
fighting sword and, intriguingly, a forgery of his glass eye.

13.8 National buried treasures revealed!
More than 67,000 archaeological items and 427 pieces of treasure have been
discovered by members of the public over the past year. The details of the
finds are revealed today in two new reports launched by the Portable
Antiquities Scheme (PAS) and the Department for Culture, Media and Sport
(DCMS).

14.1 Collections Development Strategy Consultation: November discussion
events
October 25, 2005
Many thanks to everyone who returned the consultation questionnaire
distributed to members and other stakeholders in September, seeking
confirmation and endorsement of key areas for development in the forthcoming
Collections Development Strategy for Scotland's Museums. Over 20 responses
were received and the information supplied is being collated and analysed

events being held in November.

14.2 'Museums, Galleries and Digitisation'
New research from SMC has identified a simple checklist that museums and
galleries can use to ensure that their digitisation of collections is as
effective as possible.
SMC's new document 'Museums, Galleries and Digitisation' suggests that by
following nine practical criteria, even the smallest of museums can build a
successful digital collection which will appeal to browsers and may even
promote increased visits to view physical collections.
