PERTH & KINROSS MEMBERS' GROUP
( Charity Number SC 011062 )
The Perth & Kinross Members' Group has over 350 members. Its purpose is to promote a fuller understanding of the Trust through a programme of talks, visits, events and the publication of a twice-yearly newsletter.
The Group offers financial and practical help to the Trust whenever possible; raising funds for this with a number of events during the year.
During the autumn and winter months illustrated talks are held in the A.K. Bell Library Theatre, York Place, Perth. There entrance fee is £4 for members of Perth and Kinross Members' Group and £5 for non-members.
In summer and early autumn visits are arranged to Trust properties and other places of interest.
The Group also runs a Plant Stall at one of the Gardeners Markets held in the centre of Perth, with all proceeds from the stall going to Branklyn Garden.
Membership, which currently costs £5.00 per annum, is open to any member of the National Trust for Scotland or the National Trust for England, Wales and Northern Ireland.
