New touring exhibition opens

I was delighted to attend the launch yesterday of an impressive exhibition of the History of Girl Guiding, currently on display at the Records Office in Wigston. The exhibition is set to go on tour to various locations in Leicester and Leicestershire over the next few months and is well worth a visit.

With the Leicester Comedy Festival coming up there will be a lot of extra visitors to the city in the next few weeks. I have also had the opportunity to meet a number of people visiting Leicester for the first time including the Australian Deputy High Comissioner who is definitely looking forward to a return visit with his wife and family.

It is encouraging to discover how highly these visitors rate key attractions such as Curve, the National Space Centre our fine museums and Highcross.
