She's doing more than that Steve most likely she's on the phone to her mates about the weekend.,soaps and x-factor while doing her nails so she is very very busy. ;-)

Multi tasking??? That's my type of gal! I might just pop by the records office to flirt unashamadly with her!

(SteveD then remembers that he is engaged, and would therefore like to retract that statement...unless she's fit, then it might be worth the risk.)

Annie - as she responds to your emails can you please drop her a line and ask her to confirm is she's fit or not please??

(it's been a long day - I'll get me coat now.....)

I'm guessing that the museum won't let members of the public take photo's anyway, but I like to see the Action Girl figure if any one could sneak a camera in :.

Why take a camera when you can take a phone? ;-)

I got this through this morning:
The Baron wrote:Hello,

I see that you are running a Palitoy exhibition at the moment, please could I have some more information?

I run the Action Force fansite http://www.bloodforthebaron.com - would anybody be interested in promoting the exhibition with us? Possibly an interview?

I'm not sure if I'm going to have time to get down to see it, sadly. How long will the exhibition be on display, please?

Thanks!

Jim.

Hope you are well! Am I right in thinking this exhibition is at Snibston, or have I made that up?!


Thanks

It's a touring exhibition that Fiona curated. Some palitoy things are on display at Snibston. I'll ask her to get in touch with Jim directly.

The exhibition at the Record Office in Wigston will run until the 11th of January, 2010.

However there is a permanent exhibition of Action Men and some Action Force material at Snibston Discovery Park, see our website at www.snibston.com for info on Snibston.

Some of our Action Man and Action Force collection can also be viewed at www.leics.gov.uk/collections

We have a lot more material which is held at the Leics. museum service Resource Centre at Barrow on Soar and this can be viewed by appointment.

I would be delighted to provide an interview to promote the temporary exhibition, the permanent display or the collection as a whole.

Thank you for getting in touch,

Yours sincerely,

Fiona Ure

I love the way they have just CC'd you in one their banter! "or did I just make that up". I want a job in local authority - seems a breeze to me!

Interesting email though. (all of a sudden everyone is Googlemapsing Snibston)
