Ashby History Comes to Life

The Friends of Ashby-de-la-Zouch Museum has a junior section, known as Junior FOAM.
If you attend any of the events listed here you can join Junior FOAM on the day. It costs £1 for the current year. Membership expires at the end of December. Members get a welcome pack with certificate, bookmark, badge etc. There are also several newsletters sent out throughout the year. Junior FOAM is mainly aimed at 7 - 11 year olds, although we do have a few younger members.

For those of you who took part in the Frog Hunt on July 17th, the total number of frogs was 36.
Bad luck to anyone who didn't get them all and well done to any who did!
