Angela Fritz very kindly opened up her house, Norfolks, for the annual fund-raising lunch at which 75 guests enjoyed a buffet prepared by the Trustees and Friends of the Museum. 

Well over half of the annual running costs for the Museum were raised and we will therefore be in a position to make a substantial rearrangement of the front room of the museum to house a new display of the finds from the archaeological digs undertaken in Clare in late April and early May 2011.  The raffle, which failed to include the promised trip around the world but did offer several nice prizes, and a brief speech of welcome and thanks were all that punctuated the afternoon's revelry which was blessed with glorious summer weather. 

The Museum's 2011 exhibition on Clare and the late 19^th-century agricultural depression is open until Sunday October 2^nd, with all visitors to and residents of Clare most welcome.
