Chance to win a Herefordshire Food Hamper!

All you need to do is fill in this very quick and easy survey to help support the church’s grant application! https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/WZZNMFC 

The project team would be really grateful if you’d help us out, as this will help enormously with our grant applications! Thanks in advance

Please can I extend my apologies to North Road residents for the overflow of cars that parked there last Sunday for the Junior Rugby Festival, due to the high volume of rainfall overnight we were unable to park cars on the grass, we will try to ensure that in future we have suitable contingency plans in place.

Sadly a grey cat has been killed outside Whitley Court in Cobnash. Richie of Whitley Court Cottage has kindly retrieved its body and put it on the grass verge by the hedge if you are missing one 🙁

Having noticed signs around Kingsland it seems new speed limits are proposed in and around Kingsland and Cobnash. Sadly the consultation has finished but you may like to see the map, just click it for a larger version.

A project to resurface the tennis courts in Kingsland is now complete. The village raised £30,900 with money from a number of different avenues including a fabulous £10,000 from the Big Lottery Fund and £16,816.00 from Hereford Council’s developer contributions. A donation of £2000 was gratefully received from Kingsland Parish Council, £250 was kindly given by Oaker Wood Leisure and a number of Kingsland residents generously helped us reach our target.

The courts are primarily for tennis but there are also basketball hoops either side of the court and a netball court marked at one end. Special thanks go to everyone who helped with this fantastic project and we hope that the courts are enjoyed for many years!

The Friends of St.Michaels and All Angels Kingsland

Our Charity is a non religious organisation dedicated to raising funds for the repair and renewal  of the fabric of our 12^th Century Parish Church, and at the same time bringing comedy, music, art and sculpture to Kingsland Village.

Forthcoming events:

September 7^th to the 15^th – h.Art

Over 20 artists, sculptors and craftspeople have already booked places in what is one of the most popular venues for Herefordshire’s Art week festival, our Parish Church. This year we have also invited a number of very talented young artists to exhibit their work, often for the very first time. Last year over 1,500 people came, viewed and often bought during the 8 days of h.Art. Entry is free.

October 3^rd. Arcadia Classical music concert.

Each year Thomas Bowes and Eleanor Alberga bring to Kingsland a superb classical music evening, with world class musicians. This years offering includes JS Bach – Ricercari in 6 Voices, Alberga – String Quartet No3, and Schubert – Cello Quintet. The Festival commences at the Sun Inn Leintwardine on the 2^nd October and arrives in Kingsland Parish Church on Thursday evening, the 3^rd October. Tickets £15.

October 26^th. The Village Quire.

The last time the Village Quire visited Kingsland everyone present asked us to bring them back as soon as possible, and here they are. Singing the Songs of Silas, from H.E. Bates story about a loveable rogue, a womaniser who had a cottage full of homemade wine, told tall tales, drank, poached, and worked hard to avoid the bath tub!! The Village Quire have a reputation for spine tingling harmony and love of life that you get when voices are raised together. Come and hear for yourselves.

Tickets £12.00 and £8.00

Venue, the Coronation Hall

December 14^th The Churchfitters

Anyone that managed to get to the almost snowed off performance by the Churchfitters two years ago will recall what a riotous evening it was. Now returning, again by popular demand, the Churchfitters have composed a special Christmas version of their wonderful show which is bound to be first rate entertainment. The three virtuoso musicians from England and France strut their stuff on a stage that bristles with instruments, including a stand up dustbin base and a bing bong machine made up of hacksaw blades!!!

Venue, the Coronation Hall.

Tickets are £15 and £10 to include mulled wine and mince pies.
