CRICKET
The Cricket Club has gone from strength to strength. It maintains a wicket the envy of many a village and fields strong teams playing local clubs and visiting teams which come back year after year from as far as London. It is to the Hurford and Lavender families that the credit goes for organising the Club and working behind the scenes for most of the Century to provide the facilities and teams of which Kilmington is proud.

DUKE OF EDINBURGH
The Duke of Edinburgh Awards have been running in Kilmington for nearly 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 for training in the Hitchcock Pavilion, usually on Friday evenings.
For more information or if you are interested in joining please contact Anna Crabbe on 01297 32777 or at anna.cope@btinternet.com
