## **4. Chairman’s Annual Report** 


Welcome to the third Annual General Meeting of Historic Swale; this report covers the 14-month period of Historic Swale activities, since its last AGM held in October 2020. This was intended to be my last report as your chair and indeed as a trustee of Historic Swale. 

Because  of  Covid,  we  therefore  once  again  will  be holding this year’s AGM via the technology of Zoom. 

The prime challenge for  the  heritage sector locally and nationally has been the management of the fallout from the global pandemic Covid-19.  Not  only  have  we  had  to  contend  with  the  reopening  our establishments/sites  safely,  ensuring  Covid  compliance,  we  have  had  to manage  our  volunteer  stewards  welfare…many  of  whom  are  elderly  or vulnerable  to  ensure  their  safety  and  confidence.  Indeed,  some  of  our member sites have  chosen to remain closed throughout and will not be opening until the start of 2022., I am however pleased that many sites were able to open in in June/July of 2021. 

The enforced down time has an upside, in that essential maintenance and refurbishment could take place and the utilisation and acceptance of digital platforms, has allowed our members to maintain some essential activities with  minimal  resources.  The  pandemic  has inspired  and  encouraged members to think of new and  creative ways of connecting with our own membership and visitors base, an example of this has been the involvement in the successful Swale Migration Stories project which continued behind the scenes throughout lockdown and then gained momentum when we were allowed to reopen I will be reporting on the projects achievements later in this report. 

The Murston Heart project have announced a good news story, with building work commencing on 13th September 2021 to establish the new Murston Heart creative community hub.  The work is being undertaken by Gransdens, a  long-established  local  firm  of  contractors.  This  involves restoring  the medieval  former  church  and  constructing  brand  new  studios  with  a café and community education room, while retaining the churchyard as a haven of greenery and wildlife. 

One of the aims of Historic Swale is to promote the heritage and culture of the area. I am certain that there are far more good news stories taking place across  the  Borough  in  relation  to  heritage  and  culture  that  need  to  be promoted wider. 

At this 2021 AGM, I will be standing down from Historic Swale both as chair and as a trustee. This is due to a number of other personal opportunities and commitments which have emerged for me over the last year. I have been the chair of Historic Swale for over three years and as you are aware, it was not my intension to become the chair. This occurring just at that critical stage in the first year of Historic Swale CIO. 

I do hope that member organisations will be able to commit to having a representative to take on a Trustees post within Historic Swale and that from 

Page **6** of **19** 



within those ranks a new chair may be found. My own organisation, the Historical Research Group of Sittingbourne that provides the Heritage Hub in Sittingbourne fully intends to remain a member of Historic Swale. 

I believe that having this networking group within Swale remains extremely valuable and worthwhile group. It would be a great shame if all of the hard work of the Swale Museums Group and Historic Swale were to be allowed to fall into disuse through apathy. 

## **4.1. Our Objectives - reviewed:** 

Due  to  Covid-19,  many  of  our  objectives  have  been  thwarted.  Detailed below, records our performance. 

## **1. Help deliver the Swale Migration Project** 

The unique Heritage Lottery funded ‘Swale Migration Stories’ project is the  first  joint  venture  for  Historic  Swale;  celebrating  the  tangible benefits of this collaborative networking power partnership. Its purpose was to highlight the collections and stories from many of the heritage sites  and  museums  across  the  Borough.  It  involved  the  Heritage Lottery, Swale Borough Council, Swale Community Volunteers Service (SCVS), Kent County Council, Arts Award Centre Sheppey Matters and of course the Historic Swale partnership. 

The  project  team  looked  at  the  term  Migration  and  included  the following: 

##  **Geographical** 

Examples: Passports, shoes, stamps, birth certificates 

- **Social, changing social class** 

Examples: Buildings, clothing, house deeds 

- **Gender, changing gender norms** 

Examples: Career changing, articles, photographs, letters 

- **Wildlife,** adjusting the often-negative connotation of 'migrant', 

- displaying migration is a very natural thing and occurs in nature and wildlife too. American Oysters, which washed up on the UK shores. But also migrating birds etc... 

The members museums and heritage centres within the Historic Swale partnership contain, not only displays of objects that were once owned by the inhabitants of Swale, but also postcards and family photographs. These provide a particularly rich source for researchers to find out about local migration, enabling them to tell the stories of those who lived in Swale. 

Across the Borough, the project worked with young people to: 

- Obtain / take over 300 photographs of exhibit items 

- Collect over 100 stories 

Page **7** of **19** 



- Produce 16 360-degree film clips of museums/heritage sites 

- Hold 5 pop-up exhibitions 

- Use new technology to display the findings 

- Hold a dissemination conference, to promote our Swale heritage 

- Work  with  the  Historical  Research  Group  of  Sittingbourne (HRGS) to produce an e-book about the project. 

As a legacy for the project, much of the information collected will be displayed on the Historic Swale website; on an interactive touchscreen; and available to read either as an e-book or later as a paper version. 

It cannot be lauded enough on the high admiration held for this project by the Heritage Lottery as it involved all the museums and heritage sites and a Borough community and although it modified some of its original aims, it persevered throughout the pandemic…and delivered a first-rate project. 

The Historic Swale partnership congratulate project lead, Justin Aggett, together with his team, for delivering such a high profile project.

## **2. Obtain  funding  for  an  administrator  to  manage  the  group data returns and manage the meetings** 

Theresa Emmett has held the position of ‘temporary administrator’, as a volunteer, at various times to support Historic Swale, but sadly she cannot  hold  this  position  due  to  too  many  other  commitments. Although Historic Swale had been successful with obtaining funding for an administrator through the Swale Migration Stories project Heritage Lottery  grant  through  the  Swale  Community  and  Voluntary  Service (Swale CVS) and the allocation of a part-time administrator, it did not work  out  as  we  had hoped.  Several changes  of  staff  to  cover  the administration, together with remote working and heritage sites being closed due to Covid, made interaction more difficult. 

The administrator supplied by Swale CVS was due to be in place till the project end expected in May 2021. 

## **3. Formalise job descriptions for governance roles** 

Paul David representing the Friends of Milton Regis Court Hall provided copies of job descriptions, but insufficient time resources have hampered progress on this objective. 

Page **8** of **19** 



## **4. Increase the members on the Board of Trustees - 2 from each area. At present - Sittingbourne (2), Sheppey (1) & Faversham (1)** 

Historic Swale had recruited two new trustee, last year Allen Whitnell from the Sittingbourne Heritage Museum, who has taken on the role of Webmaster was elected as a Trustee. Additionally, Chantelle FarrellKingsley was elected as Trustee & Migration Project Liaison, but she subsequently resigned when she left the area for new challenges. 

## **5. Maintain regular meetings for the Trustees and membership** 

Since the last AGM, Historic Swale has held: 

2 x Trustee meetings (Jan, Aug 2021) 

3 x Members meeting (Jan, Mar and Dec 2021) These meetings have been held using Zoom. 

## **6. Maintain  and develop a  website  promoting the  various members** 

The site continues to be maintained by Faversham Designs on behalf of Historic Swale. Allen Whitnell has taken over the role as webmaster and has updated much of the content, particularly focusing on the ‘visitor’ experience; adding the 360-degree video clips filmed for the Swale Migration Stories Project, to name just one addition. 

Allen has added elements that highlight the heritage value of Swale as a whole without necessarily focusing entirely on the “member” venues and organisations. Of course, some organisations are not an “attraction” to a visitor at all but may well be of interest to existing or potential residents. 

Please note that the website content should be continually reviewed by the membership, and any updates passed to Allen, the nominated web administrator. 

Please check the site for your group: https://historicswale.org.uk/ 

## **7. Find networking opportunities** 

Networking has taken place, albeit limited and hampered by the covid situation.  Meetings  continued  using  zoom  technology  and  limited communications by phone and email took place during the period. In addition to the Swale Migration Stories Project, the following is worth noting: 

## Collaborative research 

A form of networking is the research that has been taking place. The Historical  Research  Group  of  Sittingbourne  has  been  working  with members  of  the  Friends  of  Milton  Regis  Court  Hall  and  Faversham Society  Archaeological  Research  Group  on  the  cataloguing  of  their collections of clay tobacco pipes. All the clay pipes have been found 

Page **9** of **19** 



locally  on  archaeological  excavations.  This  work  has  now  been broadened to include the collections held by the Minster Gate House Museum on the Isle of Sheppey, and those clay pipes discovered by the Canterbury Archaeological Trust when they excavated the Paper Mill site in Sittingbourne. It is hoped that this collaborative research work will be published in due course and provide a definitive resource as to the typologies of tobacco pipes and the manufacturers of them across North  Kent.  Please  contact richard@hrgs.co.uk if  you  wish  to  be involved in this project. 

## Wheels of Time 

Eleven of our members are also part of the Kent wide, Wheels of Time scheme. The purpose of the scheme is to promote education in history and  heritage  among  young  children  and  encourage  young  people between the ages of 5 and 11, to visit museums and heritage sites in Kent; encourage families into our heritage  attractions  and promote small to medium size heritage attractions within Kent. 

The Wheels of Time Core Group have been very pro-active with email communications during the Covid situation by engaging with members to produce an e-badge scheme and encouraging members to develop on-line  activities thus opening additional visitor opportunities which also compliments the existing scheme. 

In September 2021, Wheels of Time were notified that their bid for funding for their three year ‘Time to Change’ project, which would see it develop into a standalone autonomous charitable group. Currently the scheme is administered through Ashford Borough Museum Society. The Arts Council have awarded funds for this to take place including for the appointment of a freelance Development and Delivery Officer who will oversee  the  transition. The  project will see  the  introduction  of automated processes and in the three years that the scheme will be rolled out to other counties. The scheme currently has 48 member sites across Kent, with more waiting to join in the wings.

## Southeast Museums Development Ofcer 

The Southeast Museums Development Officer – Joanna Low, continues to  work  with  Historic  Swale  to  support  the  member  sites.  The Southeast  Museums  Development  team  have  been  very  pro-active with  email  communications  during  the current  Covid  Pandemic, offering support and training on various subjects. Please ensure you are on their mailing list. https://southeastmuseums.org/ 

## Swale Borough Council 

Swale Borough Council have been helpful during this period with email communications  regarding  the  identification  of  funding  schemes  to assist members through this Covid Pandemic.

Additionally, Visit Swale, which is operated by Swale Borough Council, have  also  been  very  active  with  email  communications  during  the current Covid Pandemic. It is pleasing to see that Historic Swale have been consulted by Swale Borough Council on several issues and are referred to in the Swale Heritage Strategy document and the Tourist Economy Consultation document. 

## Newsletter to Swale Borough Council 

It is hoped that a quarterly update newsletter could be re-instated at some stage. 

Page **11** of **19** 



## **8. Find ways to improve submitting data returns** 

Swale  CVS  tried  to  collect  data  from  Historic  Swale  Members  for 2020/21 period including visitor numbers and volunteer hours. Unfortunately, visitor numbers were low during this period as many of the museums were closed due to the pandemic. 

## **9. Increase membership** – **aim two new members.** 

A list of potential associate member organisations has yet to be drawn up. 

## **10. To provide a heritage conference open to the public** 

A huge amount of work had been put into the proposed Swale Heritage Conference which was originally due to be held on Saturday 21st March 2020.  The venue had been booked; speakers arranged; tickets had been put up for sale at each of the three main areas, including online through Eventbrite; and exhibitor and stands had all been secured and organised. Covid and the lock-down resulted in the need to postpone and issue a revised date of Saturday 7th November 2020. The date was again revised to 6[th] November 2021, when it was hoped that with the role out of the vaccine programme, that the covid situation would have abated sufficiently to hold a conference. 

However, it became obvious that given the current Covid infection rate that it may not be as popular as first envisaged. Plus the theme of the event was no longer relevant, as Swale Borough Council had already published that Heritage Strategy document. 

The trustees therefore took the decision to cancel the conference and return  monies  to  attendees  and  stall  holders.  The  venue,  The Appleyard  will  not  be  refunding  our  deposit.  It  is  hoped  that  a conference of a similar nature will take place in the future. 

## **11. Promote Historic Swale (through merchandizing, publications, calendars brochures) and groups such as Visit Kent, Visit Swale etc.** 

Delayed because of the Covid situation. The initial difficulties experienced by the group have caused a setback in meeting this objective and should now form part of our suggested objectives for the future. 

Two roller banners were designed, produced, and purchased for the Swale Heritage Conference, which hopefully will still be relevant for any future conference. 

Page **12** of **19** 



The  roller  banners  were  used by  HRGS  at  their  Queens  Award  for Voluntary Service presentation in July 2021, and in 2 window displays promoting the Swale Migration Stories Project. 

These  are  stored  at  the  Heritage  Hub,  and  available  should  any member wish to promote Historic Swale. 

## **12. Develop a Swale wide ‘Heritage Trail’ passport** 

No action on this has taken place. 

## **13. Hold a Historic Swale Forum** 

No action on this has taken place because of the Covid situation. 

## **14. Become self-sustainable** 

Although much of the governance documentation has been already produced, the recruitment of an administrator from within the ranks of Historic Swale has been problematic. Covid restrictions has hampered the group, to meet and to have time to explore opportunities. 

## **4.2. Summary** 

Despite the Covid situation, the Swale Migration Stories project has enabled some collaborative working. 

Communications throughout the year has not been as often as would have been preferable, but the group in the main is volunteer led and had its own challenges that needed to be addressed. 

Some sites have revamped there premises and displays in an effort to attract new visitors, whilst some  have  chosen to err  on the  side  of caution  by remaining closed throughout and will not reopen until 2022. But it is pleasing to note that the Kent Police Museum in Favesham opened on 14[th] October 2021 and will, subject to final approval, at the Wheels of Time AGM be a welcomed attraction in the Historic Swale grouping. I am also delighted to hear that the Dolphin Barge Museum in Sittingbourne is moving ever closer to becoming open. 

Raybel have made good strides over the summer and early autumn, towards completing  the  structural  repair  of  Raybel’s  hull  and  in  February  2021 collaborated with various groups and individuals to provide an online oral history training session to help capture memories of sailing barges and local history. 

There is a need for networking groups such as Historic Swale which can speak  with  a  collaborative  voice  and  share  training  and  good  practices. Clearly, the last year has only had limited success.

## **5. Financial Report** 

Ken  Ingleton  (on  Swale  Borough  Council  duties)  presented  by  Richard Emmett 



**----- Start of picture text -----**<br>
Accounts<br>**----- End of picture text -----**<br>


## Ring Fenced Monies **– total £2283.72** 

- £83.72 remaining monies from Swale Museum Group 

- £0.00 for Historic Swale Conference albeit there is £100 in cash being held to pay back those that bought a ticket with cash. 

- £2,200.00 remaining monies from lottery Start Up grant 

Our funds  are made  up of two stands  – ‘members  monies’ which totals £786.88 and ‘ring fenced monies’, which is for specific functions which totals £2200. Costs have been minimal as the funding for the administrator has been  paid  for  from  the  Swale  Migration  Stories  project  and secondly  all meetings have been via zoom, courtesy of HRGS, which has meant no room hire costs. 

## **Membership Secretary’s Report** by Paul David 

Paul  was  appointed  as  Membership  Secretary  in  September  2020.  In conjunction with the Chairman he has  developed a revised Historic Swale Membership Application form, which incorporates an extended contact list (see appendix 1), and a Historic Swale Renewal Application Form to avoid 

Page **14** of **19** 



duplicate  information  gathering.  The  extended  contact  list   will  enable subsequent enquiries to be directed to the correct person within the member organisation. 

As you are aware, ~~As~~ no subscriptions were  collected last year, (normal membership fee £25 per organisation, but a membership holiday was agreed at the last AGM for the coming year to September 2021). So, Paul is pleased to report we have no lapsed members. The resumption of subscription and payments for 2022 will be decided at the 2021 AGM. 

Currently Historic Swale has the following members: paid up as at end of October 2021 

1. Blue Town Heritage Centre and Criterion Music Hall 

2. Chart Gunpowder Mills 

3. Dolphin Barge Museum 

4. Eastchurch Aviation Museum 

5. Fleur de Lis Museum / Faversham Society 

6. Historical Research Group Sittingbourne 

7. Kent Police Museum 

8. Maison Dieu 

9. Milton Regis Court Hall, Friends of 

10. Minster Abbey Gatehouse Museum

## **6. Fundraising** 

(Position vacant) presented by Richard Emmett 

No targeted fundraising has taken place over the last year. 

## **7. The Future and objectives for 2022** 

As the Chair, Richard Emmett and the Vice Chair Harold Goodwin had resigned and as there were no nominations to take over the roles or indeed  to  become  trustees  it  created  a  challenge  for  the  remaining trustees. The minimum functioning under the Constitution and Charity Commission rule - the posts of Chair, Treasurer or Secretary are necessary to continue. 

The future of the Historic Swale CIO was then debated at length during the AGM as to whether to continue or fold. The following options were all considered - 

1. Vote in New Chair and Trustees and continue 

Page **15** of **19** 



2. Wind back to a networking group 

3. Fold totally 

4. Any suggestions from the floor 

It was decided that there was no doubt that there was a need for the group  to  exist  and  represent  the  interests  of  the  membership  and  a number of scenarios were discussed at length. 

The following resolution was adopted – 

- a. That the group goes into stasis for a period of one year until the next AGM. 

- b. The  current board of  trustees  should  remain  in  post, subject to retraction of resignations and re-election. 

   - i Chair – Richard Emmett 

   - ii Vice Chair – Harold Goodwin 

   - iii Treasurer – Ken Ingleton 

   - iv Trustee – Liz Fuller 

   - v Trustee – Allen Whitnell 

   - vi Membership – Paul David (Non-Trustee) 

   - vii Temporary Administrator – Theresa Emmett (Non-Trustee) 

- c. All of the above named were unanimously re-elected to serve for the next year. 

- d. No membership fees will be requested from the membership for Oct 2021- Sept 2022. 

- e. That minimal administration would take place until the next AGM calling  notice  in  October  for  the  2022  AGM.  The  Historic  Swale website would be continued to be financed from existing funds. 

## **7.1. Suggested objectives for 2022** 

In line with the above, no objectives were set for 2021/2022.
