The Annual General meeting is on Tuesday 13th
March 2pm in the Old Tea Rooms, Estate Building. Are you interested in joining the committee?
New members needed.
The committee is developing a programme for next year - with some
new ideas as well as some old favourites.
On 24th April, Jo Hudson, National Trust General Manger
of Formby and Central Lancashire, will give a talk about what is happening in
the north-west. The talk will be
followed by a light lunch – this will be a ticket only event. Tickets
will be available at the AGM.
I looked on the National Trust web site to get some facts and
figures. It was founded in 1895 and is
the world’s largest conservation charity.
I have visited quite a number of countries who have started their own
National Trust and they use ours as their model.
They look after coastline, forests,
woods, fens, beaches, farmland, moorland, islands, archaeological remains,
nature reserves, villages, historic houses, gardens, mills and pubs and one of
the world's largest art collections. They restore them, protect them and open
them up to everyone. For the Trust, conservation has always gone hand-in-hand
with public access.
This is the last Newsletter for 2017.
I would like to wish you all a happy Christmas and a healthy and
happy 2018.
Best wishes
Dianne
