The Kilmington Community Association (KCG) is a group of Kilmington residents, who are regularly involved in organising social events for the village, including The Kilmington Village Show. They have successfully generated some funds through these activities, and they want this money to be reinvested in the village to support our clubs and encourage more social events. A management structure and a constitution has been conceived to ensure that the association operates fairly on behalf of the whole community. Details are published here.
If you run an existing village club that needs new equipment or, you want to start a new group or hold a social or educational event that will benefit Kilmington residents, you can now apply to the association for small grants using this Grant Application Form. Clear requirements and terms for offering grant funding have also been established.
Additionally, the association plan to organise other social events for residents through the year. If you have an idea for an event let us know. Some events will offer complimentary benefits, some will be self-funding and, if they return a profit, this will be added to the fund. We also hope to grow the number of volunteers willing to lend a hand with future events so we can maintain our lively village community.

We would like to hear from anyone who is interested in being involved on stage as this helps in selecting a pantomime that fits the sort of cast number we potentially have. We are also keen to hear from anyone happy to help behind the scenes in some way e.g. stage crew, light and sound, costumes, scenery etc. I am particularly keen to hear from anyone interested in doing the light and sound this year, so if you think you would like to help us please get in touch and I can give you more information.
Further details about the pantomime and dates for casting and start of rehearsals will be in the next issue of Postscript. Make this year the year you get involved, it really is a lot of fun! Please contact Louise Quincey on 01297 32358. |

Kilmington’s Little Helpers was started by Sally Huscroft 10 years ago after a suggestion made by Brian Lavender. Its aim is to help with those little tasks that are now rather more difficult to do by yourself. These tasks could be anything from changing a light bulb, lifting heavy items or hanging curtains. Little Helpers don’t undertake lengthy tasks like painting and decorating but will help with awkward small tasks that require a certain skill or strength.
The service is free. There are currently around 10 volunteers but we're always looking for more people. If you think you can be a helper or need help yourself please contact Sally Huscroft on 01297 32243.

The Duke of Edinburgh awards have been running in Kilmington for over twenty years! It was started by Richard Cotter, youth leader, at the Baptist Church and is now based at St Giles Church hence the name Five Alive. We have about forty young people at various stages of the award.
There are three levels, Bronze, Silver and Gold. Four sections are completed at each level and five sections at Gold level. The extra section is the Residential, which involves being away for five days on a residential activity. Some of our young people have been on Tall Ships, helping projects abroad, CCF camps, charity activities, photographic courses and sailing courses.
The four sections are Sport, Skill, Volunteering and Expedition, two days Bronze, three days Silver and four days Gold. The expedition can be walking, cycling, canoeing and horse riding. We often go to Dartmoor or the Brecon Beacons for our Gold expeditions. Some of our young people have been to Kenya and the Picos, Northern Spain for their Gold expeditions.
We meet regularly. For more information or if you are interested in joining please contact Adam Taylor on 07944 412975 or at adamtaylor204@gmail.com
