The project is largely funded by the Welsh Assembly Government and from EU Convergence Funds and will help maximize the economic value of heritage by increasing the number, length and value of visits to Wales. The project will also help open Wales's outstanding heritage to a wider audience by making it more enjoyable both for visitors and for people who live in Wales. Cadw will be working with communities, heritage partners and the tourism sector across Wales to improve the visitor experience and provide a more integrated range of heritage tourism activities by, for example, developing heritage tours, trails and events packages. The intention is to connect individual heritage sites with other heritage attractions and with the local community and the surrounding area, as well as to link to broader interpretive stories and themes. http://www.cadw.wales.gov.uk/default.asp?id=292&navId=2&parentId=2 Funding announced to restore some of Wales' historic buildings Scolton Manor, Bethlehem, Haverfordwest, Pembrokeshire Scolton Manor is an excellent example of a complete late Georgian style country house of 1840. It has near-intact original interiors with its fine stone cantilever stair being of particular note. Grant of £27,000 offered towards a scheme of works to restore the historic exterior of the building. Sir Henry Jones Museum, Llangernyw, Abergele, Conwy The Museum is housed in the Sir Henry Jones memorial cottages in Llangernyw which are of historic importance as the birthplace of Sir Henry Jones and of architectural importance for their character as a fine pair of 19th century vernacular cottages. Grant of £3,600 offered towards the re-pointing and lime washing of the exterior of the cottages. <http://wales.gov.uk/news/latest/090724historicbuildings/?skip=1&lang=en> MUSEUMS LIBRARIES AND ARCHIVES COUNCIL Museum Action Plan - Building on the work of the independent Review of Renaissance, the MLA has developed a National Action Plan for Museums. Leading Museums, A Vision and Strategic Action Plan for English Museums, charts a future based on the museum sector working together to three objectives - Supporting Excellence; Promoting Partnerships and Building Capacity. London Museums Hub Volunteer Training Bank The London Museums Hub Volunteer Management Project is working to support museums across London with volunteer involvement. One of the needs that was identified by the Hub was the provision of basic training for volunteers in museums. The project has successfully provided a programme of free training for volunteers and the training materials developed are now available to download here for museums who want to run their own in-house training. <http://www.mlalondon.org.uk/renaissance/index.cfm?NavigationID=450> Delivering local priorities A research study commissioned by the MLA provides valuable evidence of the role museums, libraries and archives can play in meeting Local Area Agreement (LAA) targets. The study identifies the contribution of the sector to the outcome of the 2008 LAAs. It provides a useful analysis of how museum, library and archive services best become strategically engaged, and the barriers that get in the way. The report highlights how museums, libraries and archives contribute most to the achievement of priorities of building stronger communities; children and young people; and promoting adult health and wellbeing. It shows 70% of upper tier local authorities are using libraries to deliver their local priorities through LAAs and Sustainable Community Strategies; 57% using museums and 17% are using archives. http://www.mla.gov.uk/news_and_views/press/releases/2009/local%20priorities Renaissance Review An independent review has endorsed Renaissance as the most important intervention in English non-national museums since the Museums Act of 1845. The £300m invested has helped transform the regional museum sector and boost visitor numbers. The work of the Review has paved the way for MLA's National Action Plan for Museums, which maps out a future where excellent regional and national museums work together to put people at the heart of museums, and museums at the heart of communities <http://www.mla.gov.uk/news_and_views/press/releases/2009/Renaissance_Review_launch> MUSEUMS ASSOCIATION Trevor Walden helps with professional development From a survey of national art museums in the Nordic region to a fundraising skills course: all made possible by the MA's Trevor Walden Bursary, said the MA's Museum Development Officer Charlotte Holmes. The bursary, which receives applications in March and September each year, is open to all candidates working towards their Associateship of the Museums Association (AMA); the aim of the bursary is to advance the education and training of museum and gallery personnel. http://www.museumsassociation.org/29110 Governance Review: have you got something to say? The Museums Association is asking its members to respond to an online consultation into the future of its governance. All members are encouraged to respond with ideas and suggestions for a new structure and process. The Association is now seeking the views of its members. This consultation period will end with a session at the Association's 2009 annual conference in London and final changes to the Association's constitution will then be put to the 2010 Annual General Meeting for approval. http://www.museumsassociation.org/29106 ASSOCIATION OF INDEPENDENT MUSEUMS Volunteering in Independent Museums Is there anything new to say about volunteers? Well, yes there is. Volunteers represent a quarter of independent museums' incoming resources (£108 million a year). There are 107,000 of them representing 8,000 full-time jobs and their contribution to independents is three times larger than to other museums. Yet the volunteers of the future will not "be like us" and museums need to wise up to their changing aspirations. http://www.aim-museums.co.uk/aim-conference-2009.htm AIM Conference 2010 - Warwickshire, 3-5 June The conference will be held at the Heritage Motor Centre, Gaydon, Warwickshire, sponsored by Development Partners. The annual MDO (Museum Development Officer) Conference is likely to be held at the same venue on 2 June. The theme will be Tourism and the Visitor Economy. Further details will be announced shortly in the AIM Bulletin and on this website. A full programme and booking form will be available in the new year.

It is designed to be one of a number of tools available to attraction operators that can be used to enhance quality and spread best practice within the sector. The format of this booklet follows the 'visitor journey' from aspects of pre-arrival to arrival and first impressions, to the attraction, including advice on presentation and interpretation. Sections on toilets, catering and retailing are included and at the back of this guide is a selection of composite case studies. These illustrate best practice being implemented to enhance the quality of the visitor experience. Meeting the VAQAS core criteria, which are highlighted in the guide, should be achievable by all well run attractions. The challenge is to create a quality of visitor experience that makes an attraction distinctive. http://wales.gov.uk/docs/drah/publications/Tourism/090219vaqascriteriaeng.pdf Saving Britain's Past Saving Britain's Past explores Britain's changing attitudes towards heritage over the course of the twentieth century, focusing on key 'moments' that precipitated change and debate. The subjects of the seven programmes in Saving Britain's Past are a starting point for exploring some of the key questions and debates surrounding Britain's heritage that arose during the second part of the twentieth century. The programmes form part of the course materials for the new Open University course Understanding global heritage (AD281). Although we do not yet have a final transmission schedule, the first programme appears likely to go to air during the week of 24th August. Please check your local guides for more.
