Who are Kendal Civic Society

Kendal Civic Society is an amenity organization run by volunteers who, as our mission statement indicates, wish not only to preserve the best of what is left of Kendal’s past but also to promote the best of the new to ensure that a vibrant, historic, picturesque and interesting town is passed on to future generations.


The Society is governed by a President although the day-to-day running is done by a Council of members, elected annually at the AGM.  The Council consists of twelve Trustees and as many co-opted members as necessary.  The officers of the club consist of a Chairman, Vice Chairman, Hon. Secretary and Treasurer.  The Council can then be split into smaller sub-committees as required.
