The Society’s attendance at the Saltaire Festival last September provided the first opportunity to open Kennet to the public for two years. It also gave us the opportunity to complete the filming of our ‘lockdown video’ A Voyage of Discovery.
The Lancashire and Cumbria Branch of the Inland Waterways Association has announced its forthcoming programme of meetings. Alongside their regular live meetings there will be four zoom meetings. Two of these will be given by the Leeds & Liverpool Canal Society President, Mike Clarke.
Kennet arrived in Saltaire on Friday afternoon 17th September in preparation for opening to the public over the weekend.

In preparation for a resumption of Kennet being open to the public we are currently revising the displays contained in the hold.
