I paid something like 25GBP (but it may have been less) back in 1974 for my life membership. Mind you that was 2 weeks wages for me then!

Note to self - stick NT sticker on the car before the Scotland meet so we can visit some NT places on our trip south.

That either has to be childrens TV or an 'adult' movie. The names seem to work for both. Mind you, in the Netherlands....

The Rochdale Cowboy! Have fun. You will make Matt (Dangermouse) jealous - Mike Harding wrote the music for Dangermouse .

I would love to See Billy Connolly live, but can't see him ever making it to the Netherlands.

I'm a life member. I joined back in 1974. Whenever I'm in the UK I try and visit an NT property. My membership admits two people which really makes it worthwhile for me.
I have no idea what it costs nowadays but you could quickly do some sums to decide whether you would get your money's worth out of membership.

Britain's satellites - Ariel 5 and 6 at least, were controlled by PDP8s and later by 11s.

My husband was even on Tomorrow's World flicking switches on the PDP8 - just to make a nice light show for them in their bit about Ariel 5, but he was responsible for a good bit of the onboard software for said satellite.
If I hadn't been ill the day they were filming I would have been on it too!
