What we do
The Civic Society has a number of long term projects which are still active and significant for the future of Kendal. We have been involved with Collin Croft since our earliest beginnings, although now in an 'interested and helpful' role. We have also had a long term interest in maintaining the structure and character of Garth Heads, the ancient lane running along the back of Highgate.

Activity - What we do
Before giving my report our first priority must be to pay tribute to the untiring work of our late President, Peter Crewdson.  In addition to his many business and social activities in the town he has given devoted service to Kendal Civic Society since its inception as its activities have always held high priority for him and great encouragement from him.  Even last year, despite a period of illness, he was here at the AGM, chivvying everyone up with his enthusiasm.  His passing is a great loss to the Society and to Kendal.

This year, your Society has been as active as ever, as the following resume will show.
