Hi Gemmers
I hope that you enjoy a much
deserved break over Christmas and are ready for the school visits to return to our
museums and heritage sites in 2011.
I would like to invite you to
attend a Science CPD day at Blackburn Museum (Details below). Any North West
museum staff or volunteers are welcome to attend who would like to enrich their
science learning offer.
Subject to availability of
places, this invitation also extends to colleagues outside the North West who
have an interest in developing science learning.
Please could you distribute this attachment
to colleagues who are not on the GEM e-mail network?
Many
thanks
