2025 has again marked a year of remarkable achievements for the Kibworth Cricket Club, both on and off the field.

At our AGM on Tuesday 2 September, we were delighted to acknowledge the very successful year that our group has had. From our successful Christmas show in 2024, ‘Holly Jolly Saves Christmas’, to our murder mystery supper night, ‘Murder in the Mailbox’, that was performed in local village halls. Both shows were great fun to put on and went down really well with our audiences. Thanks was given to everyone both back stage and on-stage for their time, effort and enthusiasm that made these shows the success they were.

Are you affected by Parkinson’s? Why not join our choir?
The choir welcomes all people affected by Parkinson’s; their family, carers and friends. You can join at any time. No expertise is necessary – just come along and sing!
The benefits of singing are well-documented. Singing releases happy endorphins, it helps with breathing and posture, it helps keep pathways open in the brain for speech. When singing there is no time to think of any worries or concerns, it demands all of our attention. Singing together can produce a beautiful sound.
Join us and see for yourself! It's a happy, friendly group, with tea and biscuits too!
We meet once a week, with some breaks in school holiday times.
Contribution of £8 per session. Fridays 1.30 - 3.30pm

Welcome back everyone to a new school year. To any new families attending Kibworth Primary School, a quick introduction. We are a registered charity consisting of parent and staff volunteers working together to help raise funds for the school, host events for pupils and their families and help enhance the school community.

2025 will be a summer to remember for young people and volunteers from 1st Kibworth Scouts. They embarked on a twelve day adventure packed, expedition style trip through Europe! Starting off early one morning at Market Harborough station, they travelled by train. They each had large backpacks and smaller rucksacks on their backs and chests.

Thank you to the ‘Kibworth & District Chronicle’ for their generous grant. It has enabled us to make improvements to our patio area, and purchase new items such as storage for the children's toys. We are so grateful for this financial help which will benefit our children's groups and community.

As a loyal subscriber to a national monthly magazine, I recently received an email asking me to fill out a questionnaire. One of the questions was about my thoughts on current car driver behaviour. It really stuck with me: did I think road users’ behaviour had become worse since Covid, stayed the same, or improved? I answered honestly, and I’m curious if many of you would agree that it’s definitely deteriorated. It seems drivers are becoming increasingly disrespectful and careless.
