FRIENDS OF THE MUSEUM What are The Friends? The Friends of The James Hall Museum of Transport is an enthusiast group consisting of members of the community with an interest in the history and preservation of land transport in South Africa. Examples of this type of transport are: Steam Driven vehicles Electrically powered vehicles Motorcycles and Bicycles Motor cars Commercial and Industrial modes of Land Transport What we do We assist the Curator of the Transport Museum where and when needed. This includes outings where we take some of the museum to the community. We assist with the planning and co-ordination of special events and activities held at the Museum such as the Annual Hobbies Fair, Fire-fighting day, international museum day, agricultural implements and Gymkhana day, cars in the park and Auto Africa. When we meet The first Wednesday of each month is an evening meeting which is held at the museum, where activities are planned, fund raisers discussed and these meetings are generally followed by items of interest such as: talks on items of relevance and videos etc. On the first Sunday of each month our plans are put into action whether it be to paint a steam vehicle, re-arrange exhibits, polish a fire engine or just enjoy making use of the mobile vehicles for an out-reach project. These meetings are generally followed by a bring and Braai. What the funds the Friends raise are used for All money raised is used specifically to benefit the Museum. The Curator guides and advises us to what is available to buy or which vehicle is in need of maintenance. We then decide on a project and raise funds to enable us to achieve our objective.
