The RHT Open Handbook

Dear Supporters of Rushen Heritage Trust,   

This is a kind of ‘Moving Handbook’ about Rushen Heritage Trust for those - like you - who are closely involved. I've started the ball rolling with some advice and ideas based on the years Sandra and I have been working with RHT (our involvement pre-dated the official launch on 25th July 2014), on questions people have asked and issues which have come up. I hope that many others will contribute their thoughts to this little book and that mine will soon become a minority.   

We are a collection of volunteers, not a company, so this is not a Manual and is in no way prescriptive. There are many ways of doing things and rarely only one right one. So, the style is informal and sometimes personal, where this might help illuminate a point. Humour is not only allowed but positively encouraged, as will be a variety of writing styles.   

The main source of the Open Handbook is online because it moves and can be continuously added to and improved. However, we also plan to publish it in hard copy and update it once a year as well, since some people prefer this. You can download the Open Handbook below.
