We have to regard a low turnout for the Society’s Annual General Meeting as a vote of confidence in the way the volunteer Trustees and Committee members work to provide the concerts promoted by us. Capacity and enthusiastic audiences also give us a strong hint too!

At that meeting we said “thank you” and farewell to two Trustees, Harry Lowe and Anna Ridding. Harry has been our  Secretary for a number of years and has very much kept us in order.  We were pleased to welcome another husband and wife team, Dorothy & Martin Grace who are succeeding Harry as Secretaries.

During the year we were also delighted when Stella Foxcroft took over as Orchestra Manager for the Lakeland Sinfonia. She has musical contacts in the area and has already introduced new players.

We do value comments from those who come to our concerts – if you pay the Membership Fee you are a member of the Society.  We do  want to carry on bringing varied and enjoyable programmes of live music to Kendal.

Parking

If the barrier is down when you arrive at the concert venue, please take a ticket. However when the concert is finished, you will find that the exit barrier is raised and you will not have to pay – the Society has negotiated with Lakes Leisure Kendal on this.

There are a limited number of “blue badge” spaces. We are sure you will agree that we cannot expect extra places to be kept to the disadvantage of other Leisure Centre users.

Over-flow parking is once again available at Kirkbie Kendal School and Murley Moss – at your own risk.
