Kington race time is moving


ONE of Kington’s best known sporting events has a new start time this year to avoid a clash with another.

The town’s annual wheelbarrow race has been moved to 5.30pm on Saturday as FIFA World Cup games kick off around the same time as Kington Festival.

Registration starts at 5pm and the High Street will also be closed from Church Street to Bridge Street until 8pm.

For more information, visit kingtonfestival.co.uk.

What about the 900 mountain bikers who will start a race from Kington on the Sunday morning!! No-one ever seems to notice them!

Is this because they do not have 500cc engines and race along the A44 at 80 to 100miles an hour on a Sunday morning at 8am ?
