A big #ThanksToYou thank you \u2026..<\/p>\n
We have now come to the end of our involvement with 25th Birthday of The National Lottery #ThanksToYou campaign.<\/p>\n
Despite some indifferent weather we have welcomed more than two hundred (200) National Lottery players and members of their family for a free visit to our Gateway Aviation Site this weekend. These visitors have come from many different regions including, Leicestershire, Lincolnshire, Yorkshire and of course Nottinghamshire.<\/p>\n
This was our second year of participating in the scheme and we are pleased to report that more people took up this free offer than they did in 2018.<\/p>\n
We would like to say a special thank you to various people who helped make the weekend a success; this includes the museum staff working away in the caf\u00e9 and shop; the dedicated team of aircraft openers and volunteers who helped over the weekend; and all of the visitors who came along. We would also like to give a special mention to the staff at the National Lottery Promotions Unit for all of their ideas, support and encouragement, during the campaign.<\/p>\n
\u201cDespite the damp conditions during the weekend we saw increased visitors taking part in the #ThanksToYou campaign,\u201d commented Museum Trustee, Howard Heeley, he continued…<\/p>\n
\u201cAs someone who was involved in the original project team that helped to implement the Heritage Lottery funded Hangar 2 building at the museum back in 2003\/4; it was really nice to see the visitors exploring the twenty five (25) aircraft and cockpits that are now displayed in there.\u201d<\/p>\n
He concluded, \u201cThe poor weather conditions this weekend, helped to illustrate why Hangar 2 is so important to the museum. Not only does it help to protect the exhibits, it also provides a dry location where visitors can enjoy looking at the exhibits and displays.\u201d<\/p>\n
