In 2019/20 the director earned just under £196k. You must be able to see why people wouldn’t want to be paying a charity money when they can afford to pay one person that amount? I’m not a member just because at the moment we can’t go anywhere. Have looked at membership but will likely get a membership to the Scottish one due to being cheaper.
All businesses need directors to run them, look at the value of NT and look at an equally sized company and what the directors are paid, why would they work for less than the market rate, These guys are accountable to the shareholders / members and have to be as commercially aware as in other businesses.

It is a C&MC CL site and is not expensive bearing in mind the situation it is in I think we paid £14 a few years ago, it has EHU and you get exclusive access to the gardens when everyone has gone home for the day. As for weather that can happen anywhere so not sure of your argument
. There is separate space in the car park for MH's for day trippers.
If they didn’t pay as much in salaries then membership numbers may increase. They will save money by not paying such crazy salaries and be able to have more people interact with the organisation, which may not be able to afford it at current prices. More people may also volunteer if they didn’t think they were being used to save money while the big earners kept earning. Win win. Based on salaries in the trust I would never offer to volunteer. But I’m currently signed up to marshal the role out of the vaccine.

And if Tesco/ASDA/Sainsburys did not pay their directors so much I would get free shopping every week
No point being silly and trying to make me look stupid. They’re a BUSINESS. Best of luck to them. A simple point to end my dialogue with you... we’re talking about a “charity” here. And all I’ve stated could be why people don’t want to be a member or offer services to volunteer. Have a nice dayAnd if Tesco/ASDA/Sainsburys did not pay their directors so much I would get free shopping every week

I stayed on the CL last summer, it's ok with chem, water and EHU but £20 a night is little expensive with no discount for trust members. However I was told that you can stay on the car park for £10 a night. So next time that's what I will do. Access to the chemical disposal and water is easy, just inside the CL and if EHU is not needed the car park is large enough for you to park away from others and is fine.
So Uk NT costs £72 for individual + £55 for English Heritage (over age 55 yrs) = £127 convert that to NZ dollars would be NZD242.20 at todays price so saving of £22.+

Not trying to make you look silly but all this jealousy cos someone gets a bit more pay than you, remember if running a company you are liable if you make a mistake etc. I think a lot of people may have dropped membership last year for obvious reasons and we are not happy the way you have to book at 9 on a Friday to visit a garden but will keep up membership as they do keep up historical houses etc.

Yes, I know, I am a member of both the Caravan and Motorhome club and the National Trust, there is now a discount for members of either or both now.
Yes, but you`d still need to pay for parking that is included in England & Wales NT membershipDid read it properly. If I get the Scottish membership, will I be able to use it in England

Unless that has recently changed, parking is also reciprocal. As an NTS member I have never had to pay for NT parking. Since the NT introduced parking machines that scan members' cards and issue free tickets I have always mentioned at reception that I could not display a ticket, because the machines don't read NTS cards, and each time have been told that as long as I have a valid NTS sticker on the windscreen it will be fine.

It’s now £22 a night i believe. We paid £20 the last time we stayed there. It’s a lot for just the basics.
