Getting saddle sore for a Kingswood charity
From time to time someone steps forward to do something exceptional to help others. Local man Mike Edkins is doing just that to raise money for a Kingswood based charity. Having only taken up cycling in June 2011, Mike has committed to cycle all the way from Bodmin in Cornwall to London's Tower Bridge on 23rd May. This is a journey of approx 350 miles, and he aims to complete the feat in just 7 gruelling days. I wonder if there... -

Fun in the sun at the Mangotsfield festival
Just got back from a really nice day out at the Mangotsfield festival. Fabulous weather and a good mix of stalls and lots fun for kids and adults alike ... a huge well done to the organisers for putting on such a great event. My group, the 37th Kingswood Scouts Cadet Band, led the way in the parade and then performed a few of their tunes in the arena ... the kids really enjoyed it and got a real buzz from doing what they do in... -
