SCHOOL DELEGATION – Students and staff of a Herefordshire school played host to two delegations from Poland and Germany. The students visited Lady Hawkins’ School in Kington as part of a European Union funded project to compare development in each country and to forge links across Europe.

They visited Aberystwyth and Birmingham and were treated to a ‘full English’ by some Sixth Form students at Kington Youth Hostel. The students also explored the school during an open evening and took part in the school’s foundress day celebrations, which celebrated the founding of the school by Lady Hawkins more than 350 years ago.

MACMILLAN CANCER SUPPORT – At the recent autumn fayre held by Kington and District Committee, the excellent sum of £4,444.95 was raised. To everyone who donated prizes and helped on the evening, from a very grateful committee, a big thank-you.
