Local people asked to fill museum
People in an Oxfordshire town are being asked to search their lofts and garages for precious things that could go on display in the first museum there.

Thame town council wants to set up a local museum after a survey found that 82% of residents would like to see one.

It is expected the new attraction will open to visitors in spring 2005, in the old magistrates' court.

Organisers say they are hoping that local people will discover treasures in unlikely places.
