Deputy Town Mayor Bob Mainstone joined a group of fellow Trustees of the Museum together with many of its volunteer staff at the Museum on Sunday morning. Bob, who is the nominated Town Council representative on the Museum’s Board of Trustees, was full of enthusiasm for the new plans to enhance the Museum’s displays about the work of Sir Archibald McIndoe and the Guinea Pig Club. “It certainly is an important year for the town’s association with the Guinea Pigs”. Said Bob, “So we are all very excited that the Museum will be able to play an even bigger part in telling the story to a wider audience both of townsfolk but also a national and  overseas audience.”

Later this year the Town Council will welcome the last remaining Guinea Pigs to their final annual meeting at East Court.
