Sorry that this is a serious post, and as such breaks the rules of ARRSE, but i thought it was something that was pretty important and people should be made aware of it (or at least offer an opportunity for someone "further up the road to doom" to start asking questions).
Heard a rumour the other day, that "Fire power" the Artillery museum is in the financial soft and smelly, and that unless the target visitor figure is reached this year the place will go down the old proverbial.
Now, understandably if this happens it may get up some peoples noses ("voluntary" contributions etc.).
So perhaps some questions need to be asked: -
1. What are the required visitor figures ?
2. What are the expected visitor figures ?
3. How much cash does the place need to keep it going ?
4. What happens if these figures do not add up?
Now rather then burring heads in the sand pit and hoping that this will have a happy ending, now is the time to get any possible problems sorted. So start asking those questions. :
This is an asset that should not be lost, moved perhaps but not lost !!
