We are an organisation formed to encourage members of the public to use Eastleigh Museum, both to view the displays and use the research facilities which provide information not only about Eastleigh town but also the surrounding villages within the Borough of Eastleigh. The Museum staff are always on hand to answer questions.
Light refreshments are available if required.
The Friends generally meet together at 7.30 pm on the first Tuesday of each month when a guest speaker gives a talk/slideshow after which refreshments are served.
For the next three months of 2008 the event list reads as follows:
May 6th - Southwick Village - Madeleine Selby.
June 3rd - Life below Decks on the Royal Yacht -Lt.Cmdr. Mike Hill.
July 1st - Southampton's Victorian Cemetery - John Avery.
