The biggest turnout one long-time volunteer had ever seen made the most of the East Coast Museum of Technology yesterday.

On offer during the day was the opportunity to ride in a covered cart drawn by Clydesdale horses, watch a model train set in action and view static and live displays.

At least one visitor volunteered his skill and experience to help out at the museum.

“We met one person — a former Telecom engineer — who has offered his services to restart our telephone exchange,” said East Coast Museum of Technology committee president Peter Omer.

Even the deputy mayor of Napier dropped in.

Annette Grey, husband Simon and children Holly and Daniel were holidaying in Mahia but yesterday made a day trip to Gisborne.

On their way into town they saw the museum sign and stopped for a look.
