PERTH & KINROSS MEMBERS' GROUP
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 is a small admission charge to cover expenses.
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.
If you would like to join the Group or to request further information about the Programme please telephone:
John Howat, Membership Secretary: 01738 626520.
