Sue curated The Gallery at the Dean Heritage Museum, Forest of Dean for 5 years, showing over 120 diverse artists and launching the "Roll of Honour" project for the Forest of Dean History Society. She was commissioned by The Countryside Agency & Forestry Commission to manage The Dean Oak Travelling Exhibitions - ("Better Uses for Dean hardwoods)" She launched the project, transported 37 makers furniture & other works to five different locations and evaluated post-project. Owing to the success of this project the Dean Oak Co-operative and Sawmill was initiated by Tim Orson. One of her largest events was "Passage 2000"a Millennium event that united 2 communities (Newnham & Arlingham) aside the River Severn over a weekend of festivity and celebration. Notwithstanding the dangerous Severn Bore - the Royal Marines Assault Squadron Hovercrafts were persuaded to become the "ferries" across this ancient Passage. With National Media focus thousands of visitors enjoyed a memorable community Festival. The Jettys brilliantly designed by Tim Orson built by volunteers & sponsored by Keith Bell. The Millennium Marker - a steel sculptural Telescope stands today at Newnham on the Riverbank as a permanent "link" between the two communities designed by blacksmith Steve Bluett. (see his page).
