Museum of British Surfing History
The British Surfing Museum
We have just received some great news from our friends at The British Surfing Museum, Pete Robinson wrote:
”The great news is that we have now submitted a planning application to North Devon District Council to establish our Museum of British Surfing History in a 6,000 square foot building (see attached) in the ’surf hub’ of Braunton - we will hear if we’ve been successful in early August, but this a major step forward.
The hard work starts now to raise the money to design and build the interior to make it a modern visitor and event-based attraction. A bid for early stage funding is in, and we are aiming to engage professional help in the near future to make our museum project sustainable. In tandem with this we are now putting together the application for the museum to become a charity instead of a non-profit limited company, which will open up more funding sources.
Lots of businesses and individuals have come forward with offers of help, and when things start to happen we’ll make sure you get a public thank you via our newsletters, website and Facebook group… but there is still a lot to be done, so if you’re interested in getting involved please get in touch”
If you can help please get in touch with Pete through this link:
