A short message from the NHT Team - 17 March 2020

It is business as usual for us at NHT; well as usual as business can be in the current environment. We are here, we are available and we want to serve our members. We aren't taking bookings for the group room and we are discouraging on site visitors (phone or video conferencing meetings are the new norm). If anyone needs a hand to set up telephone or video conferences please let us know.

We will keep reviewing these plans and let you know if anything changes.
