Our topic is Working Life. Archie Walkerdine, of Shropshire Fire and Rescue Service, is visiting to talk about Fire Safety, and he will then reveal what he always wanted to be when he was growing up - a firefighter?!

Did you end up in your dream job? Or was it more of a nightmare?

Come along with objects to show and stories to share - we look forward to seeing you!

The Memory Club has been meeting every month in Carding Mill Valley and the Long Mynd NT for over two years now and in that time we’ve regularly seen school children busy working beside and in the stream. We’ve been wondering… what are they doing?

John and Ange from the NT Children and Young People team came along to answer our questions – we learned the way the children do, hands on!

Armed with striped poles, tape measure, metre rule, a quadrat, corks, and a stopwatch, we recorded the dimensions of the stream, how it flowed, and the way erosion was reshaping the stones on the stream bed.
