Western Super Mare Museum

Five Guard members turned out at Weston Super Mare Museum on Tues 13th February for their annual history week. We have been attending this week at the museum for over a decade now and it was nice to be back in a familiar location.

People can enter for free and do everything in the museum, including seeing us and taking part in marching sessions. As soon as the doors opened people were flowing in and we had around 40ish children for one of our two marching sessions for children. This year was great as we had the Vexillarius, legionaries and an auxiliary. People loved seeing all the different kit on show.

The day was constantly busy with groups finishing and starting, marching, talks, etc. As we said our goodbyes to the staff they said that 400 people had attended the event so they were really pleased. Happy with this news some members enjoyed the delights of Weston Super Mare with fish and chips in a restaurant on the sea front which is now a tradition.
