LECTURES
A few months before our closure due to Covid19 in
March 2020 the Nat Committee had taken the difficult
decision to no longer hold our usual 10 monthly lectures
at the Nat as it was felt these were no longer cost-
effective.
We have however decided that rather than write off never
having a lecture again we will hold some lectures on
special occasions and to fundraise.
On these occasions, we have been invited to use St
John’s or the ABD centre which under the current
circumstances with regards to Covid19 etc we would be
able to house members and visitors in much more
socially distanced surroundings.
Please check back here for news of any future lectures
that we may hold.
As a direct result of the cost of living
increases we can no longer offer free
refreshments and have therefore taken
the difficult decision to make a small
charge for refreshments.
From the 1st November
£1.50 for Coffee
£1.00 for Tea
will apply.

The Bacup Nat has been without an acting President for several months now
following the resignation of Mr. K Bowden.
It is with the greatest of pleasure we can now announce that following our
monthly committee meeting on Thursday Mrs. Marian Connolly was nominated
and seconded for the role of President.
We couldn't think of anyone more deserving of this role than Marian who has
devoted almost 48 years of service to the Nat since her first visit in 1974 when
she came to enquire about Broadclough Dykes.
As many of our members will know the Nat has been in existence since 1878 the
first President being Mr. Henry Halstead and although Marian is not the first Nat
President she is, in fact, the first female President in the Nat's 144-year history.
