What the Duckings? Be careful if you're out & about in Leominster, ducks are jostling for position in the Big Fat ECHO Duck Race on July 19th. And you could be part of it! Not got your duck? Go to the ECHO website: echoherefordshire.org.uk/events/echos-b… and your £2.00 ducky could net you £250!

Just a little reminder that we've got a plant sale in town this morning. Lovely Grange Court cafe will be open for refreshments.

As promised, some more images from yesterday's wonderful ColourFest charity fundraiser for ECHO - our thanks to official photographer Richard Shakespeare. And also, again, again(!), thanks to everyone who took part, volunteered, sponsored or just enjoyed the day!
