@Derby_Canal Used to run along the bottom of my Dads old house many years ago. He told tales of boyhood raft adventures even though he couldn’t swim !

@bclmdirector @BCLivingMuseum Huge congratulations- well deserved !

Large Visitor Attraction of the Year, 2025. And the winner is. Repeat, winner is @BCLivingMuseum Enormous team effort recognising excellence. Be proud. 😍😎

@bernarddonoghue Think they’ve been hacked ??

It may sound like a small thing but the inaccuracy of weather apps and, in particular, using one image to denote the weather of an entire day & night (a rain drop) have huge detrimental effects on visitor attractions. People often base their decisions to visit on just that icon.

Had to cancel a contract in Springfield today because of the weather. It was raining cats and dogs. I’m stuffed.

Love this Story - well done Godiva Explorers from @Coventryscouts bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

@_katie_crowther Many congratulations - always looking for guest speakers at the museum I'm a Trustee for @OldHouseMuseum !!

And for those who are interested, my thesis is available to read here: etheses.whiterose.ac.uk/34879/. It explores the writing lives and literary contexts of five women and the eighteenth-century country house💌 a @ResearchNT collaboration!

I graduated with my PhD yesterday!! Thank you @UniOfYork for such a magical day, the perfect way to end the best four years at @CECSYork @UoYEnglish ✨🥂

@Girlguiding What about working with your volunteers first ? #TellUsWhy

We're looking forward to working with all MPs, and the new government, over the next Parliament. Congratulations on your election!

Penny, a Brownie in @GirlguidingSWE, baked cupcakes & made hot chocolate to raise £43.15 for @FoxiesFuture toward their fully-funded >£4m bid to #SaveFoxlease. If @GirlguidingCEO can't #TellUsWhy the bid was rejected, maybe she can explain to Penny her hard work wasn't enough?

A rainbow raised an amazing £200 for @FoxiesFuture by setting up a hook-a-duck stall in her local park. If @Girlguiding won't #TellUsWhy they rejected fully-funded, above asking price bids to #SaveWaddow and #SaveFoxlease, perhaps @Chief_Guide can explain to this rainbow?

Waddington Brownies from @Girlguiding_LE designed an "our happy home" badge and donated their pocket money to support @WaddowHallTrust's fully-funded bid to #SaveWaddow. Can @Girlguiding & @GirlguidingCEO explain to them why their contributions weren't "best value"? #TellUsWhy

"I'm also currently questioning if I want to be associated with an organisation that disregards its members so openly." - Louisa, @Girlguiding volunteer More and more members feel this way. #TellUsWhy you don't value the £millions young members and volunteers have raised...

.@Girlguiding says it is seeking "best value and outcomes". What is the value of reputational damage, @GirlguidingCEO? What is the value of volunteer goodwill, @TracyFoster268? What is the value of missed life opportunities, @SallyKettle? #TellUsWhy x.com/BBCSouthNews/s…

Yet another @Girlguiding leader, commissioner, and trainer told us that they are considering leaving. Volunteers repeatedly told us that it was the lack of transparency around the decision not to sell #Foxlease & #WaddowHall to @FoxiesFuture & @WaddowHallTrust. Just #TellUsWhy!

"Everyone from Brownies to local businesses had pitched in with the fundraising and the group was hopeful it had put together a successful bid. But the winning bidder is not @WaddowHallTrust." Read how @Girlguiding "gazumped" their own volunteers in this week's @PrivateEyeNews.

"This was never discussed by members, and it makes me feel like we don't matter." - a @Girlguiding volunteer on the decision not to sell the activity centres to @FoxiesFuture and @WaddowHallTrust. Members want to be heard & they want @GirlguidingCEO & @Chief_Guide to #TellUsWhy

Both @FoxiesFuture and @WaddowHallTrust are led by incredibly experienced & professional women who have spent the last year fundraising and making very credible plans to #SaveFoxlease and #SaveWaddow. #TellUsWhy they are being disempowered by @Girlguiding, @GirlguidingCEO

"Absolutely devastated" is the reaction of this Brownie Leader from @GuidingDerbys, after the news that fully-funded bids for #WaddowHall from @WaddowHallTrust & #Foxlease from @FoxiesFuture - who want to keep these outdoor centres close to Guiding - were rejected by @Girlguiding

"We are the ones week in, week out giving up our time. I know we get something out of it, but it leaves me feeling unsupported from the top and that they do not care." @GirlguidingCEO, @Chief_Guide, @SallyKettle: Please #TellUsWhy @Girlguiding volunteers shouldn't feel this way.

The decision to refuse bids from @FoxiesFuture and @WaddowHallTrust left this @Girlguiding Leader & Trainer feeling "incredibly sad and disappointed". Volunteers told us there is "no transparency" & the charities making bids had no feedback on why bids were refused. #TellUsWhy
