Reading all these things about #superfunds, #beneficiary #claims #payouts etc I feel glad we have #smsf. Only if one of the #trustees becomes an ar&ehole will this be a problem. My husband has been warned. War of the Roses are nothing compared to what we could do to each other. I love him. 😍

A quotation from Wendell Berry

But there is another form that life can take. We can learn about it from exceptional people of our own culture, and from other cultures less destructive than ours. I am speaking of the life of a man who knows that the world is not given by his fathers, but borrowed from his children; who has undertaken to cherish it and do it no damage, not because he is duty-bound, but because he loves the world and loves his children; whose work serves the earth he lives on and from and with, and is therefore pleasurable and meaningful and unending; whose rewards are not deferred until “retirement,” but arrive daily and seasonally out of the details of the life of his place; whose goal is the continuance of the life of the world, which for a while animates and contains him, and which he knows he can never encompass with his understanding or desire.

Wendell Berry (b. 1934) American farmer, educator, poet, conservationist
The Unforeseen Wilderness: An Essay on Kentucky’s Red River Gorge, ch. 2 “The One-Inch Journey” (1971)

Scottish Games Network Founder Joins National Videogame Museum As New Trustee

The National Videogame Museum (NVM) has announced a roster of new Trustees joining the Board of its governing charity, The British Games Institute (BGI), including Brian Baglow – the founder of the Scottish Games Network and Scottish Games Week.

With a dynamic blend of cross-sector expertise, the appointments come at a pivotal moment for the charity as it accelerates its evolution as a museum and shifts focus towards greater national impact.

The new appointments represent experts from culture, visitor attractions, videogames, fundraising, and marketing. The influx of new Trustees will join the Board in two phases as previous tenures end. These strategic additions will bolster the Museum’s governance while helping the NVM meet its ambitious goals for the future.

Under the leadership of Co-CEOs Cat Powell and John O’Shea since 2022, the NVM has done significant work consolidating the collection, developing exhibitions and enriching experience for audiences and researchers and, this spring, the Charity is on track to submit for Arts Council England’s National Museum Accreditation.

As the UK’s only museum dedicated to the history, social and cultural impact of videogames, the NVM is positioned at the forefront of preserving the Nation’s videogames heritage. With a mission statement asserting that videogames are for everyone, the Museum continues to evolve, ensuring gaming culture and its preservation is relevant and accessible to all.

New Trustees Announced:

Beginning in March 2025, the NVM will welcome the first phase of new trustees:

David Barrie (founder and CEO of Game Academy)
Joe Chetcuti (Creative Director at Creative Assembly)
Emma Cooper (Creative Industries Knowledge Transfer Manager at Innovate UK)
Natalie Kane (Curator of Digital Design at The V&A)
Nick Poole (Chief Executive of UKIE)

With extensive experience in game development, cultural institutions, brand management and technological innovation, these trustees will play a key role in guiding the Museum as it expands its National profile and strengthens how its mission to highlight videogames culture, interfaces with audiences and the wider sector.

The next phase of appointments will follow in November 2025:

Brian Baglow (Founder of Scottish Games Week)
John Booth (Senior Director at Sony Interactive Entertainment)
Emily Britt (Senior Communications Manager at Sharkmob)
Jess Gaskell (Director of PMO at Sumo Digital)

Their expertise from leading and working with companies in the games industry and sector across the UK and Europe will ensure the Museum’s continued relevance and its ability to build strategic plans that shape the future of videogames preservation and education.

The new Board of the National Videogame Museum, based in Sheffield, will celebrate the Museum’s presence in the North and enhance the understanding of its communities and their needs while bringing a national profile to the Charity’s innovative work.

Claire Boissiere, Chair of the Board of Trustees at the NVM, said:

We are honoured to welcome our new Trustees to the Board. Their extensive experience will be invaluable as we embark on an exciting new chapter in the National Videogame Museum’s journey, expanding our national presence and advancing our mission. We are excited to see how their ideas and insights will help shape our future.
We also want to share our heartfelt thanks to the Trustees stepping down at this time. Their dedication, guidance, and leadership have played a huge role in shaping the Museum’s success. Their impact will continue to inspire us, and we are deeply grateful for the time, energy, and passion they have given to the Museum.

Brian Baglow, said:

I am delighted and honoured to become a trustee of the British Games Institute and the National Videogame museum alongside such an incredible range of experts, leaders and innovators.
The NVM is a phenomenal asset in the UK’s cultural appreciation of games. Its work in preserving and providing access to games is invaluable and I believe it can play an even greater role in the the appreciation of the growing cultural and social impact of games beyond the consumer market.
I’m looking forward to helping the organisation grow, thrive and play a major role in the ongoing evolution of the games ecosystem across the whole of the United Kingdom.”

Trustees honor national champion teams for athletic, academic successes

@Broadfork
It is. The #trustees do the something similar for the #youngsters in the #parish. They organise a trip to #BeWILDerwood every year.

We had lunch at the #villagehall today! The #Trustees of the #Poor 's #Allotment give the #pensioners of the #parish a free lunch at #Christmas time each year.

The free Christmas lunch served to pensioners in the village hall.

I left with deep respect for the #trustees and the team that keep our preschool running. It was nice to see so many people step forward. I left feeling more connected to the community we’ve recently moved into.”

So much #kindness on show here, we love to see it!

“Our local pre-school was at risk of shutting down unless they could find five #trustees to serve on the committee. These unpaid volunteers were essential, and no one wanted to see our beloved village preschool close its doors.

Although I’ve been juggling a lot of responsibilities and feeling stretched thin, I nervously attended the AGM, ready to help but aware of my limits. To my relief, I wasn’t alone. Ten members of the community showed up, eager to volunteer.
