Hello and welcome to the first “non-Brum” blog post of 2023.

What Brum was trying to say is the following:

Our exhibition, “100 Years of CSMA”, opens on 11 February 2023 when the entire museum will be celebrating the achievements of CSMA/Boundless. The exhibition consists of eight towers located throughout the museum. Each tower has a display of objects, photographs and text. Two towers will also show a short film from our archive. The towers are 2 metres high and have their own internal lighting. The exhibition will end with a room relating our backstory to today’s Boundless members. This will include a multi-screen film, objects from the archive, and a creatively designed audio-visual display.

(CSMA stands for Civil Service Motoring Association. This organisation was the forerunner of Boundless)

Hello everyone, Brum here again.

My goodness it has been a chilly winter here in the museum but I’m starting to get excited. We open again in less than one week and I’m so looking forward to seeing all our visitors talking, smiling and admiring me – and the other cars and exhibits of course – as they wander around.

For children, we have these brand-new cars that you can ride in – unfortunately I can’t offer rides – but the new cars will definitely be enjoyed by the little ones.

Apparently, this year is a bit special; I think I heard murmurings about a hundredth anniversary. Not sure if it’s Graham’s birthday or 100 years of the museum or something else but I’m sure it will all be clear very soon.

Meanwhile, please come along and see us all. Remember we open on Saturday 11^th February. See you soon.

PS What do you think of my Christmas card? I was so pleased to receive it! I think it will inspire me to SPROUT a few more posts during 2023!

PPS Talking of vegetables, I was going to tell you that my favourites are CAR(rots), especially after I have been out for a SPIN(ach) but I thought you might find that a bit CORN(y).
