Newsletter

Bearing in mind the increasing costs of postage, over the past few years many of our members receive the newsletter by email. 

An invisible page is made on the BTLRC website and members are given a code to access the page at the same time as the paper copies are distributed so that no one has an unfair advantage. 

If you receive the newsletter by post and wish to change to email, or don't wish to receive the newsletter, then please let us know on our answer machine or email Alan Fitton using the details on the newsletter e-mail.

Black Country Living Museum Saturday 15th May 2010

Discover a fascinating world when you visit this urban heritage park in the shadow of Dudley Castle at the heart of the Black Country. 

Historic buildings from all around the Black Country have been moved and authentically rebuilt at the Museum, to create a tribute to the traditional skills and enterprise of the people that once lived in the heart of industrial Britain. 

Visitors are transported back in time from the modern exhibition halls to the canal-side village, where costumed demonstrators and working craftsmen bring the buildings to life with their local knowledge, practical skills and unique Black Country humour. 

Leaving Leeds at 8am.
