A warm welcome ..
Welcome to the Upper Thames and Ridgeway National Trust Association (UTRNTA).
The UTRNTA is the local Supporter Group for the National Trust, covering parts of Gloucestershire, Oxfordshire and Wiltshire not catered for by surrounding Associations.
We attract members from a wide area centred on Cirencester, Lechlade and Highworth.
In addition to your existing membership of the National Trust we offer events such as:
Local talks on a wide variety of topics
Day-trips to NT Properties and other places of interest
An annual spring holiday
The talks take place in the winter months and are held in Cirencester, Lechlade and Highworth. The outings are in the warmer months, and are typically day-trips by coach to NT sites which are further away. Our 5-day holidays are specially arranged by coach visiting various interesting venues.
Some of our funds are donated to the National Trust to help in their work locally.
