CORSHAM CAMPUS MODEL ON SHOW AT ARNOLD HOUSE

17/5/2012

Following its excursion to the Diamond Jubilee Celebration Event in Salisbury’s Cathedral Close on 1 May 2012 – where it took centre-stage in the Corsham Area Board’s Jousting Tent – the Campus model is now back in Corsham.

The Friends of Corsham Area Heritage Centre have provided the model with a temporary home in their Heritage Room at Arnold House in the High Street. We urge you to come and see it – and the other items we have there, including the Display Board we commissioned especially for the Jubilee Event. We were put in charge of co-ordinating the Corsham Area’s contribution to the Event around a heritage theme. We really went to town on it!

The model has seen a few improvements since you may have seen it previously during its “Roadshow” perambulations. It now enjoys enhanced labelling so that you can better appreciate where the Campus is to be located and what services it is to provide. There is also a pile of information leaflets accompanying it. Please feel free to take one.

At this stage we don’t know how long it will be with us, so grab the opportunity and drop into the Heritage Centre to view Model in this convenient location. Our staff will be delighted to explain it to you.

Wiltshire Council's Strategic Planning Committee, at its meeting held during the morning of 16 May 2012 at the Council's Offices in Bradley Road, Trowbridge, granted Planning Consent for the Corsham Campus, subject to expected conditions.

THE BEST OF CORSHAM FOR HER MAJESTY'S HAMPER

8/5/2012

The Corsham Area Heritage Centre was asked to co-ordinate the contributions being offered by the various organisations who participated in the Corsham Area Board's "jousting tent", erected on Salisbury's Cathedral Close for the visit of Queen Elizabeth on 1 May 2012, marking her Majesty's Diamond Jubilee.  The theme was to be "Corsham Area's Heritage".  We mounted a new display of images of such things as quarrying, the wool industry, Corsham and the military and Brunel.  We've brought it back to Corsham - where it can be seen in our Heritage Room.  A lot easier than driving down to Salisbury!

As part of the complete Corsham Area offer, a Hamper was assembled, for presentation to Her Majesty.  We ensured that the products of two of the providers of the locally-made goods to our TIC were featured in the Hamper.  They were a spectacular crown, made entirely of chocolate by the Corsham company Lick the Spoon and some jars of the scrumptious marmalade by another Corsham company, Annie's Kitchen.  

We hope Her Majesty enjoys both of them.  You can, too - by dropping into our Centre at Arnold House in the High Street and buying some.  But don't expect to find the crown there for sale.  Lick the Spoon made only the one of those.  However, we have plenty more of that company's other confection on offer.  It makes a wonderful treat.  Fit for a Queen!
