I gave Chris from BBC radio WM a tour around Broadfield today. He saw wine glasses being made in the Hot Glass Studio, press clippings from the campaign and commented on how impressive the museum was. He also enjoyed seeing Graham's Czech Glass Collection.
Simon and Ian from the Ruskin also introduced the Glass reflections weekend they will be holding on the 11th and 12th July to WM.
We were also joined by Malcolm Andrews who was Head Cutter at Corbett Webb/Royal Doulton for 30 years.
We will be on air tomorrow! Thanks WM!

For those in the UK but outside the BBC WM reception area, you can listen live online (or use the listen again feature to catch up later) from here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/radio/bbc_wm |

Just for clarification, I understood that the former Stuart Crystal shop belonged to the now defunct Waterford Wedgwood group not to Dudley Council...? The newspaper story actually states, "Meanwhile Dudley Council has confirmed the former Stuart Crystal shop at the Red House Glass Cone site has been put up for sale" which doesn't mean the same as, "Dudley Council puts ... [it] ... up for sale."

Today Charles Hajdamach has been on the radio at 102.5 the Bridge and Linda Waltho will be speaking on the radio on Saturday 27th June between 12 and 1pm.
We are also looking forward to the Reflections Weekend on the 11th and 12th July to bring back past glass memories. This event is also being organised in support of Broadfield House Glass Museum, by Ian, Simon and Brett from the Ruskin Centre. I will be there with fellow campaigners to promote the cause, handing out leaflets and inviting people to visit the glass museum.

As mentioned earlier in this topic, I asked my MP, Tim Farron, (Westmorland & Lonsdale) to support Linda Waltho in her Parliamentary campaign to save BHGM, and I've had a reply from Tim saying that he would be delighted to support the principle of the campaign and further suggesting we ask Linda Waltho to table an Early Day Motion which he and others could sign, to elicit support for the campaign in Parliament.
Could someone who is a constituent of Ms Waltho suggest this to her please, as apparently protocols prevent MPs from responding to other MPs' constituents like me?

Hansard transcript of Linda Waltho's speech is here if anyone would prefer to read it rather than watch or listen: http://www.publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm200809/cmhansrd/cm090618/debtext/90618-0019.htm (scroll down almost to the bottom). |

Save Our Glass Heritage held its second meeting with L & R Consultants on 16th July, at Broadfield House Glass Museum.
The Presentation to L & R was delivered by Dr Graham Cooley and Antique Roadshow experts, Will Farmer and Andy McConnell.
We shared a vision of creating a Centre of Excellence for Stourbridge Glass.
