PERTH & KINROSS MEMBERS' GROUP
( Charity Number SC 011062 )
The Perth & Kinross Members' Group has about 200 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 William Soutar Theatre of the A.K. Bell Library, 2 - 8 York Place, Perth at 19:30. The entrance fee is £5 for members of Perth and Kinross Members' Group and £6 for non-members. All are welcome to come to our talks.
In summer and early autumn visits are arranged to Trust properties and other places of interest.
Membership, which currently costs £6.50 per annum, is open to any member of the National Trust for Scotland or the National Trust for England, Wales and Northern Ireland.
