CELEBRATION - Kington Trefoil Guild members were part of the congregation in Hereford Cathedral celebrating 100 years of Girl Guiding. Amongst their members was Florence Price, still an active member who will have her own special celebration in August when she will be 99. The congregation, made up of Guiding members aged from five upwards, were enthralled to hear her memories of her Guiding days in Eywood and her description of the Guides’ visit to the British Empire Exhibition at Wembley in 1924.
