Soham Museum

2013 will see the culmination of fifteen years of hard work to get a museum for the people of Soham.  In order to deliver our project and give people free access to museum collections, Soham Museum needs to raise a minimum of £3,000 per year.  We are delighted that David Cox and Michelle Carter have offered to run for the museum and hope that you will support them and us by sponsoring their half marathon season;  September 1st Spartan Half Marathon; September 8th - Grunty Fen Half Marathon; October 6th - The Gunner; November 3rd - Lode Half Marathon.Read the rest of this topic
