We are building a list of all those who have volunteered with The Kibworth & District Chronicle since it's inception in 1978.

There has been a change on the island in the centre of the village which many of you will know about, I am sure, through the usual social media channels, however this is not apparent yet when looking at the buildings. Lighthouse Indian Paradise has been taken over allegedly by new owners and is now Kalcutta Brasserie.

One of the projects the members of the Kibworth & District Heritage Society is to research are the origins of some of Kibworth's street names. The plan is to publish the findings over the coming months/years. Let's begin with a question:

I read with interest the article that appeared in the March edition of the Kibworth & District Chronicle concerning the General Strike of 1926, and it prompted me to send in what I have been told is a rare piece of paperwork relating to this significant episode in Leicester's history.

I thought you'd like to know the total made at the clutter sale was £1500.47 which was brilliant. It just tops off our last few weeks, as we were honoured to be invited to the Royal Garden Party at Buckingham Palace. This was a special occasion for both ourselves and GEMS charity.

We have almost drawn up a list of talks for the remainder of the year and look forward to some splendid presentations.
