Hi


I wanted to alert you to a conversation we had with staff at the Horniman last week. It sounds as if they are considering stopping (or reducing) the brilliant 'Busy Bees' sessions on Friday mornings. Personally, we think that they are a fantastic resource for under-5s and a terrific way of getting to hear songs and stories from around the world (often with 'props' from the museum's collection). However with budgetary restrictions hitting hard, it might be that we'll lose it.


Can I suggest that if you feel strongly that you value these sessions, that you email Georgina Pope, the Community Learning Manager, at the Horniman. She said that they need to take parents' views into account when deciding what to prioritise for the coming year (which of course,financially, starts next week!). Her email address is [email protected]


If you have any useful suggestions for them, I'm sure that will come across as a positive message. For example, the sessions are currently free & very oversubscribed. I wonder whether parents would be willing and able to pay ?1 per child (as they do for the Aquarium there now) in order to secure the Storytime slot? More ideas gratefully received.


What do you think?

    • https://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/funeral-for-tony-slattery I never knew what happened to Ton Slattery after the brilliant improvisation comedy show Whose line is it anyway? For those old enough you'll remember it was a mix of American and British comedians hosted by Clive (forgotten surname)... just read he sadly developed mental health issues that impacted his ability to work but that he'd had much better last few years and been doing comedy tours again in the UK. His partner is fundraising for the funeral but as he remains special to many who grew up watching that show he's got far more than the original target amount. His partner and he had been together 40 years. Amazing and heartwarming love...

    • Yes, it would be great to see them nationalised. Along with the other water companies they seem to have a great business model: -submit a 5 year plan to the regulator asking for yearly price increases to cover the cost of improving the infrastructure and get them to approve it - carry on paying handsome dividends to shareholders and eye watering salaries to senior executives  - fail to achieve the infrastructure targets at the end of the five years, make some excuses and draw up the next plan Magic!
