A WORD FROM OUR PRESIDENT: -

I’d like to take this opportunity to introduce myself as President of the Birmingham National Trust Association.

I’m delighted and honoured to be President of an organisation which does so much for the National Trust in and around the Birmingham area. I doubt if there’s an organisation which relies so much on the hard work and loyalty of its volunteers as the National Trust, and I hope I can further its aims and raise its profile. Plus - if I can recruit a few new members, all the better !

Having lived and worked in Birmingham for 27 years I have watched as history and heritage have become ever more important and prominent in our City and in the wider West Midlands. The National Trust and its membership are at the vanguard of this growing appreciation.

Dr. Chris Upton
Senior Lecturer in History
Newman University College in Birmingham

• IN CASE OF EMERGENCY

• Since 2007, it has been recommended that we carry an 'ICE' document (with emergency contact details) in our purse or wallet - so that police, ambulance workers, etc., can contact our families and friends.

• It is now suggested that 'ICE' is extended to our mobile phones i.e. appropriate numbers on our mobile phones are designated: - 'ICE 1', 'ICE 2', etc.. With so many BNTA Members (and others) 'on the move' - this could be very good advice.
