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

For one day only and it is free. Come and see an exhibition to celebrate the 90th anniversary of the opening of Kibworth Beauchamp Grammar School Hall.

A village is made by more than its houses, roads and shops. It is also made by the places where people meet, organise, celebrate, learn and spend time together.

Kibworth Mill will be open on Saturday 19 September / Sunday 20 September.

Most moths have an English name and a Latin name; the latter based on scientific classification. This month’s subject has an extra English name so it is known as Small Mottled Willow, Beet Armyworm or Spodoptera exigua. Its larvae, an agricultural pest, have also been given a name ‘asparagus fern caterpillars’ and other less polite names by growers. Some of our moths are very colourful and photogenic. This species is unspectacular in appearance but readily identified by the pale brown spot on its otherwise grey wings.

It has been a somewhat disappointing summer for the band. Gone are the days of council sponsored summer Sunday band concerts in local parks. This included the Melton Mowbray Town Estate sponsored concerts. We hear on the grapevine, however, that due to public demand these normally well supported concerts may be back next year.

Following wonderful tribute nights to Rod Stewart, Freddie Mercury and Cher, this year’s tribute will be to ABBA.

Race Harborough is organising a Festival of Cycling on Sunday 27 September.
