Knighton VINTAGE SPORTS CAR EVENT – Over last weekend residents of the Knighton and Presteigne area had a chance to see lots of vintage sports cars taking part in the Welsh Weekend organised by the Vintage Sports Car Club. On the Sunday hundreds of spectators from a wide area turned up at Cwmwhitton Farm near Whitton to look at the cars and watch as all the pre-1931 vehicles tried to get as far up hills as they could with their passengers bouncing up and down to try and keep the cars climbing. In the farm building, locals served refreshments and there was a donation box near the car park gate. The event raised £150 each for the Dame Anna Childs Primary School, Whitton, and the Royal Agricultural Benevolent Institution.

MENDELSSOHN’S ELIJAH – Kington Choral Society invites you to join them for an evening of beautiful choral music at St Mary’s Church, Kington, on Saturday, October 18, at 7.30pm. The oratorio, Elijah, was written by Felix Mendelsshohn in 1846 for the Birmingham Festival, in homage to Mendelssohn’s Baroque predecessors Bach and Handel, whose music he loved and clearly reflects his own style as an early Romantic composer. It depicts various events in the life of the biblical prophet Elijah, taken from the books 1 Kings and 2 Kings in the Old Testament. The performance will feature soloists Elisabeth Wingfield (soprano), Frida Osterberg (alto), Michael Clee (tenor), and Richard Strivens (bass/baritone). Organist: Peter Dyke of Hereford Cathedral; Choir: Kington Choral; Conductor: Maureen Twiddy. Tickets £8 including refreshments/programme (£4 child/student) reservations on 01544 230319.
