Asva Visitor Trend Report - January 2011/2012
ASVA VISITOR TREND REPORT - JANUARY 2011/2012 OVERVIEW Visitor figures for January 2011/2012 were received from 215 sites. 10 sites requested confidentiality, and although their numbers have been included in the calculations, they do not appear in the tables below. 75 sites noted that they were closed for the season. The Riverside Museum in Glasgow was not open in 2010 so their figures for 2011 are shown in the table below for reference but have not been included in the calculation. And following discussion with colleagues, we have published the 2010 and 2011 figures for the National Museum of Scotland but these have not been included in the calculations. The reason for this decision is that the site was only partially open in 2010 whilst it was undergoing major refurbishment and upgrade, prior to the re-opening of the whole site in the summer of 2011. As can be seen, the total increase in visitor numbers is just under 300%, and to include these considerable numbers in the calculations would skew the national figure (see below). In addition, there are 6 sites for which there was no comparable data Comparable data was therefore received from 134 sites. The total number of visits recorded in January 2011 was 788,707 this compares with 733,699 in 2010 and indicates an increase of 7.5%. January 2012 had much better overall weather conditions than 2011 which saw widespread disruption because of low temperatures, sleet and snow. It was a relatively mild month, although the start of the month carried over some stormy conditions from December.

Dundee City Archives: Subject Index
Dundee City Archives: Subject Index This subject index provides a brief overview of the collections held at Dundee City Archives. The index is sorted by topic, and in some cases sub-topics. The page index on the next page gives a brief overview of the subjects included. The document only lists the collections that have been deposited at Dundee City Archives. Therefore it does not list records that are part of the Dundee City Council Archive or any of its predecessors, including: School Records Licensing Records Burial Records Minutes Planning Records Reports Poorhouse Records Other council Records If you are interested in records that would have been created by the council or one of its predecessors, please get in contact with us to find out what we hold. This list is update regularly, but new accessions may not be included. For up to date information please contact us. In most cases the description that appears in the list is a general description of the collection. It does not list individual items in the collections. We may hold further related items in collections that have not been catalogued. For further information please contact us. Please note that some records may be closed due to restrictions such as data protection. Other records may not be accessible as they are too fragile or damaged. Please contact us for further information or check access restrictions. How do I use this index? The page index on the next page gives a list of subjects covered.

Newsletter July 2021
London Members' Centre Chairman's Newsletter July 2021 (a Recognised Scottish Charity No. SC 027207) www.nts-lmc.scot Dear Members We're back in business. Thanks to the efforts of Margaret Cund, our Covid-delayed 2020 Spring Tour took place last month. Margaret has written a full account of the adventure which is on a separate sheet accompanying this newsletter. This tour has resulted in nearly £1100 being added to our coffers which were severely depleted following our large donation to the SOS appeal by the NTS. Margaret is already considering a trip to Suffolk for 2022. The next bit of good news is that we have a visit! The Theatre Royal, Drury Lane, is offering us a look round the newly refurbished building in September - see another attached sheet for full details. Our visit leaders are still finding it difficult in making contact with potential visit sites, so we can't offer anything else quite yet but we hope for a London Walk in October - Geoff Schoon is planning this since Connie Sangster is still stuck somewhere the other side of the North Sea (OK - in The Netherlands). Rusty Love is planning a theatre trip for December - another attached sheet says it all. We are thinking our regular 'Christmas' Lecture, normally held in Crown Court Church Hall in late November. A speaker has been booked and is prepared to come in person or talk via Zoom. Would you be willing to come into Central London? Or would you be happier listening to the talk on Zoom? Or should we try and find a somewhat airier venue? We, the committee, will hold a meeting in September to decide which is going to be the best option and it would be very helpful to know the members' views.
