AGM Wrap

The museum trustees met on Tuesday night for their annual general meeting. They're a smaller group than a decade ago but no less dedicated to the governance processes that make the museum possible.

The following officers were re-elected:
Chairperson - John Low
Secretary - Pam Booth
Treasurer - Peter Campbell
Exhibition Manager - Peter Gutsell
Publicity Manager - Pam Booth
Roster Manager - Graham Milne
Fundraising Managers - Roger Scott and Peter Gutsell
Trustee - Mervyn Officer

The Collection Manager position is still open so if anyone is interested, please get in touch. Caring for a collection involves cataloguing, labelling and storing items. Photographs need to be scanned as part of their preservation. Computer skills are important, and we can show you the rest.

Note: We're open Sundays, 2pm-4pm and by request.

WWII Military Parade Questions


We're looking for information on this military parade. We know it's from World War II, and takes place on Dee Street, Invercargill. But we don't know who the man is who is saluting on the back of the truck, nor what year this was taken. Can you help? Email us or message us on Facebook. Thanks!

Note: We're open Sundays, 2pm-4pm and by request.
