Digital or printed?
If you would like to receive your newsletter digitally please send your name, email address and Centre membership number to
cheltglosntcentre@outlook.com
If you opt for information by email you will also receive some updates between the newsletter dates, although you can always check these out on the website. (I would recommend looking at our website as it is always up-to-date with the very latest information).
Thanks to the considerable number of members who have already opted for digital delivery, we are likely to save the centre well over a hundred pounds over the year in overheads, which can be used to the benefit of National Trust projects.

Details of all the Centre's activities are on this website.
No need to wait for the next quarterly Newsletter – the latest Centre information is on our web-pages immediately it is available! Booking Forms for Outings & Lunches etc. will be available in our Newsletter as usual.
Our website, which can be the first point of contact for prospective new members, also has all the information that is in the Newsletter and is, in fact, more up to date for anyone to check at any time.
David Ford, who founded our website and has edited it for many years, now wishes to retire. He has done an excellent job, both in founding and maintaining the website, and the Centre owes him a huge vote of thanks.
A successor has now been found, Peter Young, contactable at 01242 520459 or pnyoung@ormail.co.uk
Officially he won't take over till the 2018 AGM, when, of course, someone better qualified may wish to take over! In the meanwhile, David is training Peter, and for the time being we are editing "in tandem".
If the AGM endorses Peter as website manager, he will then take over as sole maintainer, but he knows that he can rely on David's support in the future if needed.
