On leaving the army he bought the Victory Pub on St. Owen Street and started the Spinning Dog Brewery, latterly known as the Hereford Brewery. That was 16 years ago and the business is still going strong. Over the years he has been involved in fund raising activities for a wide range of local charities. He is well known for working tirelessly for groups city wide, and nothing is too much trouble. In 2011 he became a City and County Councillor and around the same time he helped set up the Central Tupsley Community Group. The group led by Jim have put on a variety of events at the Quarry such as “Picnic in the Park” and a Bonfire night fire and firework display, and constantly seeks opportunities to improve local amenities. Jim is also a regular visitor to the weekly
coffee shop at Hampton Park Church and can always be relied upon by the many attendees and elsewhere for advice or support. Jim likes to keep fit. Between all his many councillor duties and community activities he plays rugby for Hereford Rugby Club, roller skates at The Core, Foley Trading Estate, and goes rafting and cycling. He will do anything at least twice! Councillor Kenyon has four children and two grandchildren who play a huge part in his life and keep him real every day. He is passionate about the City of Hereford, and therefore is looking forward to serving everyone as Hereford’s 635th mayor and having a little fun along the way. The Charities he has chosen to support during his Mayoral year are ‘Wheeled Sports 4 Hereford’, Hereford Veterans Support and ELY Memorial Fund – a Tupsley based charitable organisation that provides assistance with funeral costs if a family loses a young person in a road traffic accident.
Rose Garden Summer Fete The Rose Garden, Ledbury Road, is holding a Summer Fete on Saturday 6th August between 2pm & 4pm. Hopefully the weather will be wonderful so that the fete can be held outside but if not, it will still take place inside. Do come!
