Dakota Draw 2022

​It’s time to renew your numbers for the Dakota Draw which hopefully you will do for the coming year 2022.
​
As we move into a new phase at Metheringham Airfield, the Dakota Draw is undergoing some changes as well. In 2022 the draw will take place every quarter in March, June, September and December and as a valued contributor you will have 1 free ticket in the March draw. Tickets purchased previously for the monthly draw have been transferred across to the quarterly draw so you will have more tickets in the March draw and more chance of winning. Tickets are still £1 and I hope you will continue to support the draw in 2022. Please enter using the application form below.
 
As you might be aware a new charitable incorporated association (CIO) named Metheringham Airfield Visitor Centre, charity number 1194347 has replaced the existing charity, Friends of Metheringham Airfield, charity number 1084720. This has resulted in a change of bank account as well. We are now with the Co-op Bank and all cheques should be made payable to Metheringham Airfield Visitor Centre.

Many thanks to Jeff Williams for running the draw over many years and I hope to do as good a job as he has done ........with your support of course. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me. Many thanks for your continued support.

How your donations help the Museum
Our curatorial team have been busy revamping the Carey Powell Museum room. The room is now themed ‘Our Commonwealth Colleagues’ -  sharing stories yet untold of those who came from abroad to serve here during World War 2.  We were awarded a grant from the Association of Independent Museums (AIM) to conserve our rare WW2 dinghy.

We were also successful in obtaining a Small Grant from Museums Development East Midlands (MDEM) to contribute towards the construction of a bespoke new display cabinet for the dinghy which takes pride of place in the Carey Powell Room and forms part of one of our educational sessions delivered to schools. The MDEM fund also enabled us to supply new digital display stands and environmental monitors for recording the environmental conditions in the room (located in the original and former WW2 Ration Stores).
​So, thank you to AIM and MDEM but also a huge THANK YOU to the members of the public who kindly donated to this project with a total of £130 being donated so far. Please consider donating to help us continue with such work.
