RAMBLERS - East Radnor Ramblers are offering the next in their 2008 season of monthly short walks on Bank Holiday Monday, starting from Knighton Community Centre car park (parking charge). The walk will be a maximum of five miles with quite a bit of ascent, but great views over Knighton.

Meet at 10am, please come suitably clad with walking boots or stout shoes, warm clothing and waterproofs. Bring a warm drink and a snack. We aim to be back in Knighton by 1pm. Everyone welcome, but no dogs please. Walkers walk at their own risk, and the leader has the right to alter or postpone a walk if the conditions are unsuitable. Contact Jenny Kendall on 01544 260550 for details.

VEHICLE DAMAGED - At approximately 11.30pm on Saturday, April 26, a red VW Golf was parked and left unattended in the High Street at Knighton when it would appear that a number of drunken revellers bounced it down the street towards the Clock Tower. It is fairly clear that this was something of a prank but unfortunately some minor damage was caused to the front nearside door panel. If you were one of those responsible and would like to recompense the vehicle’s owner, please contact PC 407 Bill Cowan at Knighton Police Station.

If you witnessed this incident or know who was responsible, then please contact PC Cowan at the station, call 0845 3302000 or email knighton@dyfed-powys.pnn.police.uk PACT MEETING - A Police and Community Together meeting was held recently in the Knighton Hotel. At the meeting, local residents and town councillors discussed with local police officers the issues of drivers racing cars around the streets, and parking around the town. COUNTERFEIT BANK NOTES - Four counterfeit £20 notes have been handed into Knighton Police Station recently from Knighton, Presteigne and the surrounding area. The counterfeit notes are printed on thicker paper. If anyone is unsure about a note, special pens can be purchased or suspect notes can be taken to your local bank.

EXHIBITION - Local photographer David Bunyan is putting on a third exhibition of his work in Knighton Library. The photos this time have all been taken recently around the Elan Valley. The exhibition, called ‘As I Saw It’, will start today (Thursday) and run for a month.
