## **Aims & Objectives** 

As set down in the Memorandum of Association the museum works showcase the development of steam and internal combustion engines by presenting suitable examples in working condition for the public. 

The museum also maintains an archive of related documentation indexed and available with an emphasis on the conversion of that documentation to an electronic format to provide secure copies. 

## **Summary 2022 Season** 

2022 was the first full year open since COVID and although some maintenance had been performed during 20/21 most of the year was spent overhauling engines and sorting building maintenance issues. Opening was Saturday & Sunday only plus Bank Holidays. 

The Steam Hall performed well over the year with no issues and attracting an increasing number of visitors. 

The Turbine Shed and Hall7 were still out of use as a result of the subsidence at the rear so were used as temporary storage.

## **Improvements** 

.A number of factors meant work on the Trinity House and laboratory displays did not start until January, well behind schedule and will continue into the 23 and 24 seasons. 

## **Online Shop** 

After 11 years of hard work by Andy M the online shop closed down which has resulted in a drop in income until we can find someone else to take it on. 

## **Visitors** 

Visitor numbers were below the 2019 by around 20% but with positive reviews for the season the trustees were happy with the results. 

Facebook once again seemed to make the difference on PR for steaming days.
