Exterminate! Exterminate! Exterminate!
Posted on 17/07/07
P. Klein
Daleks were the subject of todays activities at Charnwood Museum. For several sessions youngsters created their own Daleks and to help with the Dalek invasion of Loughborough, and then they were allowed to take them home afterwards. Luckily for the Daleks the Doctor was no where to be seen. Presumably he is still fighting the Master somewhere in time, somewhere in the Galaxy.
The Dalek invasion has proved to be very popular. Originally booked just for today a further session was arranged for Monday 20th August 2007. However, this booked up almost immediately. To ensure the conquest continues a further session has been arranged for Friday 24th August 2007. All potential Dalek makers are invited to book fast, as places are expected to sell out like hot Daleks. Latecomers will be exterminated!
The workshops form part of Charnwood Museums popular arts and crafts summer holiday activity programme. From Daleks to Pirates, Corn Dollies to Mask Making, T-shirt printing to a Teddy Bears Picnic, there are now so many different workshops taking place at Charnwood Museum over the summer that you could take part in a different workshop almost every day.
Art and craft workshop are aimed at children aged 3-12 and cost 2 per child. Places must be booked and paid for in advance. Children must be accompanied by an appropriate adult. Call Charnwood Museum on 01509 233754 to reserve your place.
Charnwood Museum is located in Queens Park in Loughborough. Opening hours are 10am to 4.30pm on Monday to Saturday and 2pm until 5pm on Sundays and Bank Holidays. Admission is Free.
