    We need your help! – Packaging Workshop: Tue 6th June (10am-3pm)

    Dear all,

    Our Collections and Research teams would like some help making historic packaging for the new development, specifically for the first row of shops in the heart of the new 1940s-60s town.

    We have a drop-in session on Tuesday 6th June from 10am – 3pm.

    You are welcome to pop in any time and don’t have to stay for the whole day. We have lots of boxes which require making up for the displays, so any help would be hugely appreciated.

    If you are interested in getting involved, please contact our Collections team via [email protected].

    Thank you.

  • Weekly Ops – how to get involved

    Weekly Ops – how to get involved

    With various new starters joining the Museum recently, we thought that it would be useful to remind everyone about our ‘Weekly Museum Activity Update’, also known as ‘Weekly Ops’.

    It has been flagged in recent meetings that information is getting missed and attendance can be low. Therefore, please read the following information carefully and familiarise yourself with the current process of Weekly Ops.

    What is Weekly Ops? 

    Weekly Ops is a great form of communication for all teams across the Museum where you will find out what’s happening at the Museum over the next seven days.

    Teams will individually share department headlines, new future dates for the diary and team updates – such as any annual leave, work-from-home requests and any absences – on a PowerPoint slide.

    At least one member of each team is required to be present so they can share updates on specific projects.

    When is it? 

    Every Wednesday at 10am on Teams. Each team is required to fill in their slide by 5pm on the previous Monday. This is done via Teams – Weekly Museum Activity Update>General.

    The latest PowerPoint slide will be available for you to edit at the bottom. Please see below:

    How do I get on the invite list? 

    Your Line Manager will need to request an invite from Nick Sellers, Head of Museum Operations.

    What do I do with the information? 

    By attending Weekly Ops, you are the representative for your team and must pass on key information to the rest of your team. Therefore, please take notes throughout. After receiving feedback, many teams communicate key information via an email to their team or via a separate Teams channel for their team. Use whatever works best for you and your team.

    Any questions, please email [email protected].
