NOTE: Click here for the 2008 Programme With many
members in Wivenhoe, Colchester
has a National Trust Centre. National Trust Centres are local groups run
voluntarily by National Trust members. They exist to support the work of the National Trust in preserving
places of historic interest and natural beauty.
They provide practical support through fund raising, promotion of
the National Trust locally and by voluntary work at local properties. Membership
of the Centre is open to National Trust members. Membership gives you the
opportunity of meeting other National Trust members as well as taking part
in the extensive range of activities organised by the Centre - see link
below to the latest events programme. The
principal activities of the Centre are a series of monthly talks
throughout the winter months on a variety of topics, outings during the
summer months; lunches and other social events; walks; and generally a
holiday break each year. A
Newsletter is published three times a year to keep members informed of the
Centre’s activities. If you
apply for membership you will be sent the latest Newsletter prior to
receipt of you application. To
join the Colchester & North East Essex Centre, download a membership
form (click here), complete and send as directed. The
annual subscription is £8.00 for a couple (i.e. two people at the
same address), £5.00 for a single person and 50p for each child. Membership
is from January 1st to December 31st in any one
year, but for new members who join on or after 1st September
the subscription runs until 31st December of the following
year. (Should you find in
January or April that you have mislaid your renewal form, you can use this
to renew your own membership; please write Renewal across the top of the
form. If you leave it as late
as August you will have been deemed to have left the Centre, and so will
not receive the Newsletter.)
