national trust <strong>2020</strong>/21<br />
winter meetings<br />
by National Trust Nottingham Centre<br />
September seems a long<br />
way off as we come to terms<br />
with social distancing and<br />
restrictions on our daily lives.<br />
Something to look forward to<br />
when we can meet again is our<br />
Winter Programme of talks.<br />
The programme runs twice a<br />
month from September to April. Each talk lasts for<br />
an hour with a variety of subjects and speakers. The<br />
year starts with “British Garden Birds”; later in the<br />
year, “Gardens Great and Small” and “Japan’s Wildlife”.<br />
History buffs may enjoy “Cuba and Panama”;<br />
“Independence, Revolution and Pirates”, or “Inn Signs<br />
and Local History”.<br />
If restrictions are relaxed, we hope to run some<br />
minibus walks for small groups from <strong>August</strong> onwards.<br />
Here are the first few provisional dates:<br />
Wednesday 5 <strong>August</strong>: Harringworth to Fineshade<br />
(Rockingham Forest)<br />
Thursday 20 <strong>August</strong>: Brassington to Tissington<br />
(Peak District)<br />
Thursday 17 September: Deep Hayes to Froghall<br />
(Churnet Valley)<br />
You will need to be a member of the National Trust to<br />
join the Nottingham Centre and you will need to be<br />

what is happening and when.<br />
It costs £6 per person per annum to join and £10 for 2<br />
people living at the same address. The talks cost £3<br />
