| About The Civic Society |
 |
The
Montgomery Civic Society
was founded in 1973 and membership is open to all who are interested in
actively furthering its purposes. It is a Registered Charity (Charity No 508761).
It is registered with The
Civic Trust for Wales and follows the parent body's aims and
objectives.
It was established for the public
benefit of the area comprising the Civil Parish of Montgomery for the
following purposes:
To promote high standards
of planning and architecture.
To educate the public in
the geography, history, natural history and architecture of the area.
To secure the preservation,
protection, development and improvement of the features of historic or
public interest in the area.
We aim to promote civic
pride
in Montgomery by encouraging research, by working together with the
local planning authority and other local organisations whose aims are
similar to ours, by holding meetings and lectures and by publishing
papers, reports and other literature. We run the Old Bell
Museum and Gallery and all members are entitled to free entry
throughout the opening season.
For membership details
