Well I’ve set up on the blue place. Still pipdpip but now blue. Trying to find people and learning how to operate it!

Sara Wajid talking eloquently and emotionally @Royal_Armouries on closing the cultural participation gap Birmingham museums Trust. #Museums2024

Loving Mark o’Neil’s insights on museum attendance and how it’s impacted by inequalities in society. Education is a clear predictor of museum attendance. Talking all things attendance and inequality. With David Bartam now and Sara Wajid shortly. #Museums2024

Really great introduction to gender connections to the ballock dagger from Carys, one of the contributors to Forgotten Battles. @Royal_Armouries #Museums2024 royalarmouries.org/collectio… here’s one of our ballock daggers! All puns welcome

Looking forward to this session with @Royal_Armouries Rob, Carys and Kit

And our next #Museums2024 plenary will be…sword fighting. Quite a flex, @Royal_Armouries.

More fabulous photos of our @RoyalArmouries #Museums2024 I really enjoyed this evening. After punjabi drummers the night before at @LeedsArtGallery and pollaxe fighting instruction last night!

Really good to hear him speaking @RoyalArmouries
