Exciting developments in 2018!

A gang of helpers have been busy in the museum packing, wrapping and covering everything up. Why? Well, during the second week of January construction work will start on a second floor storage area for our artefacts – located over the cafe and shop area. This will mean that we are able to move our collection of artefacts from the empty shop where they are currently stored into the safety of the museum itself. The work will be completed in time for our Easter opening.

Dic Goodman with his friend, the late John Arfon Huws, Bwlchtocyn. They spent many happy hours together constructing these nobbies and rigging them up. The strict metre poems about the Ifa and Hannah were also written by them – they were both accomplished poets and thus creative in more ways than one! Come along next week to see our display of these and other big models. There will be 10% sale in the chop and café. A warm welcome awaits you. Open every day from 21 October to 30 October – 10.30 to 4pm.

We had a most interesting Guided Walk on Sunday 18 September led by Dr Daniel Evans. We walked the promontory at Cilan and Dr Evans explained the geology of this area, including the remains of a small manganese quarry and an extremely rare feature called an ‘angular unconformity’! The rain held off until the very end and everyone thoroughly enjoyed the walk.

Archaeological Exhibition

The exhibition featuring the archaeological finds at St Mary's has been postponed until next Spring. It will be well advertised beforehand.

Millenium Volunteers

Photographed are local students Llio Mererid Owen and Mared Erin Jones (looking a lot happier that the legendary Luned Bengoch!). They have been volunteering with us under the Gwirvol - Millenium Volunteers Scheme - a super initiative which has provided us with their enthusiastic support over the summer. They in turn will have had great work experience. They've been brilliant!

Accreditation!

merched

The Llŷn Maritime Museum has recently received the very good news that the museum has been given full accredited status. The museum reopened in July 2014 following a period of redevelopment and the Artefacts Committee have been working diligently since them to attain this award. The Accreditation Scheme sets out nationally-agreed standards, which inspire the confidence of the public and funding and governing bodies, and enables museums to assess their current performance and develop their services.

During the months of November, December and January, a section of the retaining wall surrounding St Mary’s church which houses the museum was rebuilt. The work was undertaken to a high standard by Gelli Engineering, and the new wall looks splendid. A service was later held to bury the remains unearthed during the work on the wall.

The annual raffle was drawn at the close of 2015. The museum wishes to thank everyone who supported the raffle which raised in excess of £750. This year’s raffle will run from the end of March.

The winners are as follows:

Painting of Porth Dinllaen (donated by Daniel and Ann Evans): Mr Pete Scott, Hafoty, Edern

Meal Voucher £20 (donated by the Nanhoron Arms): Mrs Mair Jones, Cartrefle, Nefyn

Is has a been a busy time at the museum recently as Alice Midmore, a young carpenter from Tregaron who learnt her skills at Felin Uchaf Traditional Skills Building Centre in Rhoshirwaun, has been up to assemble the play boat which she built for us with local oak and larch. It is based on the granite exporting steamers which used to carry the stone to local coastal ports and Ireland. The grant for this project was donated by the Welsh Aggregate Levy Fund.

We hope children will have a great time playing in it!

Official Opening 2014

A large and joyful congregation gathered in Nefyn on 19 July for the official opening of the Museum, following years of hard work to raise its profile and secure funding. The event was held at Capel Isa –afterwards people were invited to wander down to the museum for a look round and then either return to the chapel for a celebration tea or enjoy a glass of the local brew Cwrw Llyn in the gazebo behind St Mary’s. At the ceremony, Harri Richards sang lyrics written by the late Joni Owen celebrating the original museum back in 1977, Roger Stephens Jones read an excerpt from Growing up Among Sailors, Anna Georgina played some maritime tunes on her harp and the former vicar Wheldon Thomas spoke about the old museum. The newly renovated museum was opened by local historian and lecturer J Dilwyn Williams.
