PEOPLE passionate about the preservation of history are being sought by the National Trust, to sit on its regional committee.

Committee members provide advice and guidance on the work of the trust in Devon and Cornwall. They should be members of the trust and have an awareness of the need for local emphasis in applying national policies.

The trust is particularly interested in hearing from people with backgrounds in tourism, finance, customer services, catering, retail and holiday cottages. This is because funds raised through these activities are vital in supporting conservation work.

Anyone interested in serving on the National Trust?s regional committee should call Anne Jones on 01208 265204.
