SPRING/SUMMER 2021

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

STOP PRESS: (updated 12/04/2021)
CORONAVIRUS: The ongoing situation is being monitored by the committee and is affecting future events. Ongoing developments will be posted here. Do please provide your email address to our Secretary if you have not already done so to minimise postal costs in keeping everyone up to date as the situation unfolds. See notes against individual events below.
SCOTTISH HOLIDAY Monday 12th to Friday 16th April 12th 2021 was cancelled as, apart from the uncertainty over COVID restrictions, it was not clear that all NT properties would be open. It is hoped that it can be rearranged at a future date.
NEWSLETTER Once again there is little news to publish in the Spring/Summer edition of the Newsletter but we have collected together a few articles for interest and amusement, and continued with some archive photographs from past years. It is now available on this website and is being posted to members today - if you have not yet received your copy within a week of this update please contact the secretary or editor.
SUBSCRIPTIONS In view of the continuing lack of activity no NSNTA subscriptions are being charged in 2021 - your membership will be automatically renewed for a further 12 months.
DOCUMENTS Useful documents for use by Event Organisers available on the 'Documents' button above.
