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
