Newark Air Museum News 2022

Post by NAM Updater »

It’s time to start a 2022 Newark Air Museum News thread, through which I will endeavour to keep people advised of the day to day activities at NAM.

Again on behalf of everyone at Newark Air Museum I would just like to say a BIG THANK YOU to everyone who visited in 2020 and supported the museum during a challenging year.

Details will continue to be added both here and to the – Latest News Page on the NAM website.

We're open today and into the new year, but please be aware that we have a reduced café menu at the moment: http://www.newarkairmuseum.org/Reduced_Menu_2022

Any chance of a friendly mod locking the 2021 thread when they have a moment and pin this one for us?

Thank you!

Many thanks for that, it is appreciated and helps keep things together.

On behalf of the museum and all of its volunteers and staff we look forward to welcoming you to our Gateway Aviation Site - we've had a steady start to the New Year with a good number of visitors, yesterday and today - long may it continue!

On our first 'real' day back in 2022 with lots of museum working members on site they've been moving exhibits around in Hangar1 in preparation for a busy 2022 on the restoration front - check out the new Gallery!

Some items have gone back into store thereby creating better locations for planned restoration work; plus a juggle around with some loaned items!

In recent days we've had a few emails & calls asking when we will be releasing details of the next Aeroboot/Aerojumble & Nightshoot - details will appear on here & in here http://newarkairmuseum.org/Museum-Events

However, this will not be until the revised Covid Guidelines are released by HMG this week.

To be honest I lost track of the day's events, due to hosting the second visiting school group of the week!

Thank you for your input - no doubt more news to follow later in the year!!

We've had lots of enthusiasts divert to visit us today due to many weather related base closures elsewhere, but please remember that on Friday 18th February 2022 we will be closed due to the weather warnings related to Storm Eunice!

Hopefully back open on Saturday!!

As I put in the last email, that'll be OK if we don't sell out before hand - on the current numbers it might work out for you two, but the number of people booking places has picked up again after a brief lull.

Admission passes and a pre-event briefing sheet are being posted out tomorrow.
