KGC is teeing up for an exciting new season as we welcome our incoming captains, Phil Thomason, Julie Simpson and Mia Ashton. At the recent drive-in, they announced their chosen charities for the year ahead: Heartwize and The Melanoma Trust.

Members of the running club were out in force over recent weeks, representing the club across road and trail events – and tackling everything from fast six-mile racing to muddy off-road challenges.

We will be holding a table top sale on Saturday 11 April in Kibworth Village Hall, LE8 0LN. From 10am - 12.45.  There will be a good variety of stalls including: craft stalls, handmade cards, jewellery, Tropic skin care products, knitted & crochet goods, jigsaws  books, pre loved clothes, raffle, bric-a-brac and lots more.

After a fabulous concert last November, followed by our usual Christmas events, we are very excited to share with you the total amount raised for our chosen charity, Rainbows Children's Hospice in Loughborough. We raised a total of £1,300 which the Hospice were absolutely thrilled with! Thank you to everyone who supported us!
