Charm

Hi everyone, my name is Dean I represent the Conflict History. and Remembrance Museum on the Isle of Wight. (Charm)

not only are we open but we are bigger and better than ever before.

this place is run solely by volunteers, no one at all is paid to be there.

it it is my job to answer questions, dispel myths and help people understand what we are about.

so please feel free to come and see us, we are always looking for new friends and equipment

And I can assure you with the fantastic team Stan has, we will be here to stay..

just to give you an idea of what we are about.

first we are a history museum, what this means is we try and tell the story about what the people and the vehicle did, what it was like to be in it and some history.

next we plan to help people with PTSD, be them from any background.

next we run a back to work scheme and a training school for the unemployed.

and on top of all that we can cater for large events, parties, weddings and social meetings.

we have a 200 seater mess and a 30 seater 1940s cafe..

we are affiliated with the British legion and the legion riders.

check out our wight link deals if you plan to visit.

please look at our websites for more details.

www.iow-charm.org.uk

and our friends site, www.friendsofcharm.org.

there is a very interesting tank on our friends site that we are looking to restore, so if any of you fine folks can help identify parts that would be fantastic..

have a nice day

running anything like this must be hard work. I am currently trying to find a place for my collection but I am being hounded out of everywhere...I have the perfect place In south Alton but its now in the south downs national park and I am told that there will be no chance of getting it approved, cant even build myself a house to live on my own land even though I want to put my cattle there...its ludicrous...

 

the Uk is not an easy place to do anything, create a business, create jobs or to earn a living...forget it...save the trees and the wildlife and you may have a chance to do something...European union will give you money to do that...

 

this country is slowly killing itself with rules and regulations trying to stop this and control that to the point where nothing will happen and we will be left behind by the rest of the world..

Hi hi did you ever have any joy with your museum idea at all?

Its now re-opening with the rather strange name The CHARM Museum, [Conflict, History & Rememberance Museum], could create confusion that its a place full of tacky jewellery? Is the name going to attract visitors?

Hopefully may get a better understanding when more information and pictures are released.

Update on Charm, it's become more popular than the previous version due to the diverse nature and hard work undertaken by all off the volunteers on site, Stan has a very hard working team and this place will without doubt become one of the top attractions on the island..
