Editorial Summer is officially here and there are lots of events and happenings in our towns and villages. H.Art is back with an abundance of wonderful art and craft to explore; village fetes and shows make a welcome return; community events and services are available once more and it feels as if life is getting back to normal at last.

My sponsored trek to raise money for WaterAid is finally going ahead! Originally planned for October 2020, and having been postponed 4 times, it seems a little bit hard to believe, but on 10 September I shall be jetting off to Peru to finally complete this challenge! I will spend five days trekking along the Inca Trail through the Peruvian Andes, up to a height of 4,215 metres above sea level. I’ll be taking 12kg of kit with me and camping overnight at the designated camping areas. Finishing off at the 15th century Inca citadel of Machu Picchu! Training seems to have been going on forever, but I feel much fitter than when I originally started all those months ago.
The final four weeks of training includes four walks per week, two long walks, starting off at six and seven hours, building up to two x eight hours. Along with two shorter “recovery” walks of one and two hours. I have most of the kit I need now, sleeping bag, 30 litre day sack, 2 litre hydration bladder, she wee, waterproof clothing, warm clothing, SPF 50 sun cream, head torch, trekking poles and of course a good pair of walking boots!
Just need to make sure I remember my covid 19 vaccination record and my passport! A huge thank you to everyone who has supported me over the last three years, the money is going to make such a huge difference to so many people. However, I do still need a little bit more to reach my target and so (hopefully for the last time) if you would like to donate any little amount that you can afford I would be so, so grateful. My JustGiving page is at www.justgiving.com/ fundraising/elly-ingram-trek or you can scan the QR code, which should take you directly to it!

Herefordshire Art Week: h.Art
A special exhibition at Made in the Marches in Kington will embrace and explore a different kind of rural scenery. With 15 participating artists working in media ranging from photography, drawing and painting to ceramics, jewellery and found materials, ‘Industrial Pastorale’ will offer a breadth of creative responses to the human mark on the landscape. If you’re a fan of corrugated barns, abandoned machinery, pylons and the patina of history, then come see what the artists have in Exhibitingstore.
5
artists are Amanda Attfield, Rosamund Black, Sarah Cadwallader, Ruth Cameron Swan, Shannon Donovan, Rebecca Finney, Denise Fordyce, Rob Fountain, Nancy Frost, Freya Gamble, Lois Hopwood, Gretchen Ind, Jane Keay, Rebecca Reynolds, and Stuart Roper. Curator and exhibiting artist Shannon Donovan said, “I’ve been wanting to create an exhibition on this theme for several years now and can’t wait to present work by such a diverse group of talented artists. I’m thrilled to be able to do so during Herefordshire’s premier arts event and as a co op member of Made in the Marches.”
The Shield of Achilles If you’re intrigued by modern takes on a Classical theme, then don’t miss ‘The Shield of Achilles’, a special exhibition for h.Art at Aardvark Books. Twelve artists and makers working in media ranging from paint to print, willow and ceramic will offer up their personal interpretations of, and reactions to, Homer’s description of the elaborate shield forged for Achilles to bring into battle against Hector in the Trojan War. Expect elemental paintings that draw on map making and cosmic themes; figurative sculpture evoking sisterly support and maternal devotion; and abstract and representational reflections on ourselves, our society and current affairs, using the imagery of the shield as a starting point. Participating artists: Jacs Collins, Gordon Crosby, Shannon Donovan, Michael J. Hancock, Andrea McLean, Tony Hall, Lois Hopwood, Ciara Lewis, Helena Orlowski, Laura Rowlatt, Jane Tudge and Cheryl Williams. As a special exhibition related event, exhibitor Andrea McLean, who has done extensive research on the topic, will give a slide talk, ‘The Mythical Shield’. The talk will take place on Sunday 4 September at 11am. The exhibition is open to the public 11am to 5pm each day during that time (including Monday 5 September). In addition to thousands of books for perusal and purchase, Aardvark features a café to satisfy the need for coffee, tea, cake and croque monsieurs after all that art viewing.
Industrial Pastorale: Artists Explore the Lived Landscape
Artist demonstrations at Made in the Marches will complement the exhibition.

CPRW Brecon & Radnor invite you to join us at our event ‘Welsh food and farming where do we go from here?’ on Saturday 17 September, 9am to 4pm at Knighton Community Centre. The question of how our farmers and growers can make sustainability work for them as well as for the environment and consumers has never been more pressing. It is key to the transition to a resilient food production system that works for nature, future food security and human health. In the face of the climate emergency what are the barriers holding the food and farming system back from change? And how can we find new directions for our rural economy? Come and join the conversation about our local food systems and the wider questions at our discussion day. Speakers include local farmers and growers, representatives from the Soil Association, the Abattoir Sector Group, Young Farmers, the Nature Friendly Farming Network and Stump up for Trees, among others. For tickets go to: www.welshfoodandfarming.eventbrite.co.uk

The Mayor’s Special Award to Anne Phillips
We have been in recent communication with Balfour Beatty Living Places (BBLP) regarding their plans to resurface the High Street and Bridge Street. They are also planning to replace many of the pavements with modern Tarmac surfacing. We understand that this project is going ahead and could even be undertaken before December.
Our outgoing Mayor, Bob Widdowson has presented his Special Civic Award to Anne Phillips, the Head Teacher of Kington Primary School from January 1999 until August 2022. Anne’s leadership has created a model of a happy, successful and caring school that is the beating heart of our community’s present and future. Her warm and friendly character permeated all her wide ranging volunteer work in Kington and Herefordshire. We will really miss her. Kington Primary School sits at the very centre of our community: a fact specifically noted by OFSTED in 2020. Pupils are highly involved in community events, such as making harvest soup, singing with the town choir and representing the school at Remembrance services and Christmas festivities. The pride of pupils in their school is evident. We’re all proud of the school too and of Anne! Every year she was a judge of the children’s entries at the Kington Horse and Agricultural Show. This earned the school respect and deep affection throughout the community and the county. The community’s regard of her was so great that she was asked to assist in the selection of a new vicar. She encouraged community events in the school hall including co operation with the Courtyard Theatre in Hereford in setting up the Kington Youth Theatre. This involved children from across our area, especially those that were home educated and lacked regular social interaction. This has flourished and put on many productions at the Courtyard Theatre. It has increased children’s interest in the Kington Operatic Society which now puts on at least two productions a year in which they can participate. Several children have subsequently made a career in the performing arts. She created the space on the school grounds for a purpose built nursery and she persuaded Herefordshire Education Authority to provide funding for it. She worked closely with the designers and builders of the specialist building. Most recently, Anne played an active part in the committee designing Kington’s exhibition at the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee celebration in SheHereford.alsohelped to put up the display as well as playing a key role during the Queen’s visit by assembling and briefing the children from both the primary school and Lady Hawkins secondary school. She brought the Prince of Wales’ Harmony programme to Herefordshire. This programme takes a holistic view of nature as the foundation for sustainability and sustainable communities. She founded and supported the Kington Area Federation, the group which brings together all the primary schools in West Herefordshire to share best practice and collaborate on initiatives. This keeps these small community schools viable and enables children to go to school to near their homes ensuring that each primary school and their local community retains its unique identity. Anne also mentored several primary schools in South Herefordshire and built up a relationship with Worcester University to facilitate teaching training at Kington Primary School and in the Area Federation.
A New High Street
The Community Award. This is an award for a resident or community group/charity, living or working in Kington, who has made a significant contribution to the residents of Kington above and beyond the call of duty, achieved local success or overcome difficulties.
The Business Award. Nominated by Kington Chamber of Trade for an individual or organisation who has provided exceptional service to the local economy or local population or made a significant contribution to the local area, The Mayor's Special Award. Nominated by the Town Mayor each year at the Mayor’s discretion. You can make nominations at any time during the year and these will be considered annually in April by the Town Council and awarded at the Annual Town Meeting. For further information on how to nominate your local hero, please see the Civic Award section on our website.
Shop-Front Scheme Success September will see the end of the scheme to upgrade, repair, repaint and restore the shop fronts in Bridge Street, Church Street, and the High Street. We were able to undertake this scheme with funding from the Department of Levelling Up, Housing and Communities and the support of Herefordshire Council.
The Young Person Award. This is an award for a person under the age of 21 who lives in Kington or is in school in Kington and who has made a significant contribution to the residents of Kington through voluntary effort, achieving success or overcoming difficulties.
We thank them and we thank all the businesses who made the effort to take part and particularly we thank our Clerk, Liz Kelso who has managed the whole scheme personally since its start. We think it has made a huge difference to the town. We’re really pleased to see that people are still working on frontages as we write; some on their own account. This is a great example of us all working together to achieve a common goal! Travellers on the Recreation Ground. As many of you know a group of travellers forced entry to the Recreation Ground in early August and set up their pitch. This was the first time that this had occurred in Kington and it took a few days for us to establish the correct process to ask them to move on.
We recently revised and updated our Civic Awards programme. These annual awards are nominated by Kingtonians to honour people who have made outstanding contributions to the community. The Awards we will be giving this year are in the following categories:
We have been told that the work will take place overnight and that BBLP will make their best efforts to minimise disruption to residents and Kington businessThates. said, with a project of this size, some disruption will be inevitable. We hope that the inconvenience will be worth it and are looking forward to having a smart new High Street. Please keep an eye out for further information from BBLP and/or us.

On Friday 5th August, your Mayor, your Clerk and PSCO Rawlinson from West Mercia police served a Section 77 notice which required the group to leave the site no later than Monday 8th August. We are pleased to say that this order was complied with and the travellers moved on without incident. Sadly, they left behind a significant amount of rubbish and damaged the entrance gates and some of the surfaces and grass in the Rec., so their visit was not without cost to the town. W e have arranged for the rubbish to be properly and safely disposed of and we are reviewing the security of and access to the Rec. New Civic Awards

Volunteers are made most welcome, whether they want to help in the cafe and shop or do odd maintenance jobs in and around the building. Perhaps the most enjoyable and rewarding aspect of volunteering at the centre is the opportunities for meeting and chatting to visitors from all over the UK, and many other countries too. If volunteering appeals to you, do get in touch with the centre by phoning 01547 528753, emailing office@offasdyke.org.uk or simply call in if you’re passing Wednesday to Sunday between 10am and 4pm. You can join the ODA itself see details including the cost of an annual subscription on the Association’s website.

Becoming a trustee of the charity and making a practical contribution to how the centre is run and the path managed is perhaps the most valuable contribution you could make. The association was after all founded just over 50 years ago by a Knightonian teacher and amateur archaeologist, Frank Noble. Surely everyone in Knighton and surrounding area would wish for his legacy to continue and even expand over the next 50 years.

Chris Plant Radnorshire Society
The centre attracts visitors from all over the world who come to enjoy Knighton’s beautiful countryside. It is a significant asset to the town and its economy yet receives no financial support from government, central or local. Visitors can learn all about the history of the 8th Century dyke by browsing the brightly illustrated exhibition, then enjoy tea, coffee and locally made cakes and snacks served by smiling volunteers who are always willing to chat and share their knowledge of the area. And if they can’t answer a question then long serving staff member Jenny surely can. The centre has been in its present home, which is leased by the Offa’s Dyke Association from Powys County Council, since 1999. In recent years its viability has been threatened by loss of income from space rented to National Trail Officers and from the town council who moved their meetings last year to the new Civic Centre. Powys County Council’s ending of support for Tourist Information Centres was a further blow. And then there was covid. In fact, while the doors were shut during the pandemic, much was going on behind the scenes: the exhibition was completely revamped, LED lighting installed together with new audio visual equipment to facilitate small conferences and the like, and the wooden floor was sanded and re lacquered.
The town council’s decision to cease managing the public toilets at the centre in early 2021 was however a setback that remains unresolved today. Two part time staff supported by a small but dedicated band of volunteers have been working hard this year to offer visitors a welcome 5 days a week and to raise enough income to make staying open for a longer part of the year a viable proposition. It is worth stressing here that the Offa’s Dyke Association is a volunteer led national charity which primarily exists to promote the conservation of the entire dyke. ODA member subscriptions pay for a wide range of conservation and education activities in addition to helping to keep the centre going. It is therefore vital that local people who care about promoting their area and welcoming visitors to our town support the Offa’s Dyke Centre. This could mean simply dropping in for coffee and a slice of home made cake while admiring the lovely view across the park to Kinsley or after checking out the informative exhibition.

Mental Health Support for the Farming Community
We are Farming Minds is a charity offering mental health support to the Herefordshire farming community. It was established by a Herefordshire farming couple, Sam and Emily Stables following their own personal experience of struggling with mental health and their journey to overcome the stigma and lack of support for mental health in the farming community. At least one farmer a week in the UK takes their own life. Our mission is to take the bull by the horns to tackle mental health in the Herefordshire farming community and to help to lower this statistic. We received a grant of £137,000 from the National Lottery Community Fund which has enabled us to develop the charity further and offer the following services.

A talk by Dr Stephen Hugh Jones entitled Death in Different Cultures
This event has arisen from discussions in a group based in Presteigne called Liminal Space. We offer a monthly space to give people the opportunity to talk about all aspects of end of life, death and dying. Over the last two years we have heard comments about the recurring theme of the losses which individuals and the community at large are holding. These encompass the many issues arising from the COVID pandemic, such as deaths of loved ones, loss of certainty, loss of emotional landmarks and hopes for the future. From a wider perspective there is also the increasing anxiety people hold around financial security, issues of climate change and anticipatory loss and the ongoing wars around the world. As a result of these feelings of powerlessness and grief, we are planning to hold a festival of events during the week beginning 31 October 2022. Our aim is to enable the people of Presteigne and the surrounding communities to come together to acknowledge and share the losses we have experienced and to build resilience to move forward with greater robustness, support and hope. These are the events we are Poetryplanning:workshop

Read the Greener Footprints ‘Carbon Workout Guide’ for farmers online at https://zerocarbon.herefordshire.gov.uk
A recent report from the independent Climate Change Committee highlighted the vital role of agriculture in meeting the UK’s target of net zero by 2050 but warned that overall progress towards reducing emissions from farming had been ‘glacial’ with a lack of strong national policies. In Herefordshire, several organisations have been working hard to plug this gap and the new guide hopes to build on this local momentum for change.
Christine Hope, Herefordshire Rural Hub Director said, “The farming community is facing challenges from all directions at the moment, the red diesel discount is ending and fuel costs are going up; the BPS [the biggest rural subsidy scheme] is closing; changes to trade agreements are making exports more difficult; and the war in Ukraine is putting added pressure on the sector. In this context, more farmers are starting to consider regenerative farming as a way to access new markets and make their farms more resilient to changing weather patterns. It’s not a quick fix but there is lots of help out there and I’d really encourage farmers to read the guide, talk to their neighbours and make the most of the support available.”
launched: how to cut carbon and cut costs Representatives from the Herefordshire farming community have teamed up with the Greener Footprints campaign to launch a new guide to greener farming. As one of the few industries that can capture (rather than just emit) carbon, agriculture is in a unique position to help tackle climate change and the good news is that more sustainable farming methods can cut costs, increase productivity and improve the bottom line. The free guide brings together practical advice from Herefordshire Rural Hub, expert knowledge from local landowner the Duchy of Cornwall and first hand experience from local farmers to provide a five step introduction to lower carbon farming. Retired farmer, industry commentator and member of the Herefordshire Climate and Nature Partnership Board Ian Howie said, “Herefordshire is a county that is farmed really well, but as farmers know there are always things they can do to improve. One of the aims of this campaign is to encourage collaborative thinking and discussion so farmers can learn from each other as they move forward. This guide straight talking and jargon free breaks down what to do and how to do it. Everyone's business will benefit if farmers work together.”
New guide for Herefordshire farmers
Rachel Price Greenow, Senior Future Farming Advisor for the Duchy of Cornwall said, “Farms have a really important role to play in protecting biodiversity and sequestering carbon through soil, hedgerows and woodlands. I’ve been working with farmers across the Estate for several years to understand the best ways to protect natural landscapes, provide habitats for wildlife and at the same time run sustainable and viable businesses. It was great to have the opportunity to share some of this experience within the Greener Footprints guide and I hope it will inspire other farmers to see what they can do.”
Farmer Phil Gorringe, of Lower Blakemere Farm, shares his experience in the new guide. Phil said, “It’s a big decision to turn the farm around and it doesn’t happen overnight. You have to be realistic that it’s going to take time but it’s worth the effort. Everything we do on the farm that costs carbon, costs money so ultimately, carbon is directly linked to profit.”

Councillor Chris Branford has alerted the council to the state of the cenotaph in Brookside Square, which she feels requires prompt attention before someone has an accident. Cllr Branford said that there is a grid which could trip someone if it is not properly secured and there is a broken paving slab that needs replacing. The tree also requires attention. Clerk Neil King will contact Powys County Council which is responsible for repairs.
Rotary Club Donation
The Reverend Petra Goodband is the new chair of the Knighton Youth Service Committee after Cllr Bob Andrews stepped down, although he will remain as treasurer; he and Ruth Forrester are working on an application to the Prosperity Fund. A grant of £27,500 was previously made, of which there is about £15,500 remaining. Cllr Andrews told the meeting that Powys County Councillors Angelique Williams and Corina Kenyon Wade are joining the committee and there is still a lot of interest in the project from local youngsters. Attendees number around 40 at each session and day trips are planned for the summer holidays.

Knighton Youth Project: drop in cafe starting up again 7 September; pottery; a trip to Aberystwyth.
The Knighton Festival 2022 will take place later this year during the October half term holiday, from Friday 28 October to Sunday 6 November. We successfully managed to produce an online Festival during the pandemic over the past 2 years. Now we can look forward to meeting up in person once more and enjoying live events. The theme chosen as we return to normal life is loosely based around the topics of health and wellbeing, both physical and mental, with a working title of: The Feelgood Festival. Our Festival Committee is hard at work putting together an entertaining programme of panel discussions, talks, and readings, featuring poets, visual artists, writers, scholars, and scientists, as well as musical performances. We also hope to include some outdoor activities, including guided walks and cycling. We will be launching a new website soon, so do keep in touch for more updates. The Knighton Festival Committee
The council has agreed to apply to register and take ownership of 0.67 acres of land situated at the junction of Mill Road and Penybont Road. Edible Knighton, started in 2010 by the Teme Valley Environment Group, has planted some fruit trees and nut trees on various verges in the area including two at this location. The group has asked the council to register the land in order to protect it. They have planted many trees and herb gardens, all of which they maintain, to encourage people to eat the fresh produce, have a closer connection to nature, benefit from fresh food and improve wellbeing.
Knighton Youth Project
The Knighton and District Rotary Club has presented £500 each to Blood Bikes Wales and Mid Powys MIND (based in Llandrindod Wells). The presentation was made at the community centre by Rotary president Kim Smith who gave the donation to Mid Powys MIND while past president Margaret Thorp presented the other £500 to volunteers from Blood Bikes Wales.
Knighton Festival of Books, Art and Music 2022: The Feelgood Festival
Civic Centre Latest The Civic Centre could be changed to a not for profit organisation, which would save the council around £7000 a year in business rates. It would also be easier to apply for a wider range of grants than is currently possible. If the proposed change is successful a committee will be set up comprising a mix of councillors, residents and any other interested parties.
Community Garden
Knighton Youth Project has been running since February 2022. We offer activities for children aged 11 to 18. Every Wednesday 6.30pm to 8.30pm through term time we hold a drop in cafe at the Community Centre where we offer things like table tennis, badminton, crafts and many more as well as providing food and drink. Dates to look out for on our Facebook page
There is a beautiful new garden behind the Community Centre thanks to Powys Nature Partnership, the Welsh Government’s Local Places for Nature, volunteers, centre staff and local groups, all of whom have come together to create the community wildlife and sensory garden. Included in the project is a native wildflower meadow, fruit and veg plots and places to sit and enjoy the peace and beauty of the surroundings. The garden was designed by Michelle Brinkhurst and tools, planters and seeds were donated by the Knighton Men’s Shed, the Teme Valley Environmental Group, the Rotary Club and generous individuals. The funding allowed the purchase of water butts, a pergola, greenhouse, shed, planters and tools to keep the garden in good order.

20 Knighton Flicks Parallel Mothers 9 September. Two women, Janis and Ana, coincide in a hospital room where they are about to give birth. Both are single and became pregnant by accident. Janis, middle aged, doesn't regret it and she is exultant. The other, Ana, an adolescent, is scared, repentant and traumatised. The few words they exchange in these hours will create a very close link between the two, which by chance develops and complicates, and changes their lives in a decisive way.

With food and energy prices rising, Citizens Advice estimates 14.5 million people will be unable to afford their energy bills from October 2022. The charity is predicting people on low incomes will be hit hardest and those who ‘pay as you go’ for their energy on prepayment meters are less able to spread the cost of energy throughout the year. Rising energy costs could see an average household on a prepayment meter facing bills of £336, over £10 a day, in December 2022, compared with £147 in December 2021. Herefordshire has a fuel poverty rate of 12 per cent, higher than the national average of 10.4 per cent. “It’s so important that we are able to offer advice to those who need it and to do that we need to recruit extra advisers,” Sonya said. “We are planning our next training programme for September 2022 to prepare for the increase in demand.”
Citizens Advice offers help with welfare benefit checks and applications, debt advice, energy advice and housing advice.
Thursday 6 October: Elvis (cert 12A) Baz Luhrmann's musical drama about the life and music of Elvis Presley, seen through the prism of his complicated relationship with his enigmatic manager, Colonel Tom Parker. From Presley's rise to fame to his unprecedented stardom, the film is set against the backdrop of the evolving cultural landscape and loss of innocence in America.
“As well as doing something positive for the local community, we know people who give their time get a lot back, be it enjoying the cameraderie of working in a team, learning new skills or campaigning on issues that are important to them,” Sonya said. “We’ll give you all the training you need and would love to hear from you”.
