University. We are actively addressing this problem -
Wedgwood Museum. You may have heard about the problems the museum is having as there is an attempt to ‘seize ‘ the museum to pay towards debts from the Wedgwood company which went bankrupt in 2009.
The museum collection can now be sold to meet deficit of Wedgwood Potteries, even though the two separated half a century ago.

There is a Guardian article which explains the situation which you can see by clicking here

Click here for a Gift Aid Certificate. If you pay tax NADFAS can claim the tax back on your membership fee, it costs you nothing but is a way to donate to the organisation, you only have to do it once. Our society gets some of the money too.
Just fill in your details and send it either to Janet Groom at 2 Springfield Lane, Smeeton Westerby, Leicester LE8 0QW or to the Treasurer Elizabeth Cooke, 4 Powys Avenue, Oadby LE2 2DP
We have quite a few husband and wife memberships where only one person has filled in a gift aid form. As we must have a form showing the names of both to be able to claim Gift Aid on both memberships, we would be very grateful if you would both put your names on a form or do two forms.
If you are unsure if you have filled one in please telephone Janet Groome on 0116 279 2280 and we will check up for you. If you are not a tax payer you should not sign a gift aid form
