Right, this one is sorted....
the Free Museum to Local People is no more....I popped in and ask this morning...
They do not know when this charge came in, or who introduced it....
You can pay an annual fee of £3.50...but that does not included anyone who is with you............and, you will have to think more about making a spontaneous visit...because this will cost you....
I expect you would have to troll through loads of meetings to find out who introduced the charge..............once it is there....there is jack all you can do about it...................
