I've been a member of NT for about 10 years - the annual cost is covered by visiting around 3 properties in a year and gets used on occasional UK breaks. Not having to get the wallet out each time makes it more likely I will stop out of interest.
I am generally happy with their activities and regard it as a worthwhile contribution to the preservation of the past which otherwise would not happen. I may not agree with all their projects but accept others may have different interests or priorities.
My main issue - why is it kept separate from English Heritage. They would do far better to agree a joint membership even if the two organisations continue separate management. Personally, I am reluctant to pay two annual subs - and know no one who does.
