Members and guests enjoyed an excellent evening's entertainment with cricketing stories of the ups and downs of international cricket, including how scary it is to face Australian fast bowler Brett Lee in full flow.

Local favourite John Hussey introduced the speaker and regaled the audience with tales of Kington past. An auction of sporting items was conducted by Richard Gwilliam, raising money for the club and Snape's testimonial charity Operation Smile.

Kington's next event is to get ready for the new season on the Nat West Cricketforce weekend.

Brooms buckets and brushes will be out in force April 5 and 6 to spruce the club up. "Anyone wishing to join the club would be most welcome to join us," said secretary Debbie Stokes.

"Cups of tea will be in plentiful supply!"

Double delight

THE internationally renowned identical twin sisters Antoinette and Claire Cann will be performing a sparkling programme of piano duets at St John the Baptist Church, Aymestrey, near Leominster on Saturday, May 24, at 7.30pm. Antoinette and Claire first played the piano when they were three years old, picking out tunes on the family piano. “The first thing we picked out was the theme to Listen with Mother.” Starting lessons was apparently the only time the pair were at odds about their playing. “Toni was very keen to go,” says Claire. “But at the time, Claire was shy,” adds Antoinette.
