Hi All,

As part of my 30 Day Sketch project I have organised a short tour with the collections department at Great North Museum. Rob Murray has kindly offered to take a tour for up to 10 people to visit part of the biology collection that I'm particularly interested. Almost by default the Great North Museum has ended up with a small collection of taxidermy domestic pets; animals that have been stuffed and never claimed by their owner for whatever reason. I have asked Rob to try and dig up some of those stories for our group, and of course we will have a look at the different 'abandoned pets'.

The time for this tour is 11am, Saturday 28th November at the Discovery Museum. If you are able to come along please let me know as soon as possible so that I can let Rob our numbers. xx
