| I do not agree that an entry charge would work. Firstly, school trips would stop (8,000 of the 30,000, I am told) and secondly it would deter many others. When the major museums introduced entry charges attendance figures dropped sharply. An alternative would be a "Friends of the Museum" fundraising group, with "Friends" donating annually (using the excellent Gift Aid system would require Gordon Brown to donate too) and perhaps arranging fundraising events of various sorts. Worth thinking about |
