Marsh Volunteer Award for Engaging the Public in Historic Vessels

[Pluto]

The L&LCS and their L&LC short boat Kennet were given another award last night, this time by the March Christian Trust, who said of the volunteers:

 

The Friends of Kennet from the Leeds and Liverpool Canal Society have made an invaluable contribution to the restoration and subsequent use of the Kennet to educate the public about the Leeds and Liverpool Canal, its boats, boaters and their families. They were awarded a Heritage Lottery Fund grant from 2011 until 2014, which enabled them to engage with a wide range of audiences and encourage more volunteers to become involved with the vessel.
