The annual Pro Shop Christmas Golf Competition delivered a fantastic day of festive spirit, friendly rivalry, and impressive golf at the club last week. With a strong field of members, the event once again proved to be a great success.

Our November meeting began with Wendy Johnson from the Heart Trust charity giving us a talk and demonstration on how to use a defibrillator to save a life. She brought along five out of 15 different defibrillators, which can cost from £650 up to £25,000. Wendy told us that when nurses call out for one it’s “Bring me the defib” because the full word is too long! All defibs have a battery, but now one has been developed to run on solar power. The machine will indicate if the battery is running low.

“On that first Christmas morning, the angels were singing, the shepherds were celebrating, the wise men were still travelling and the innkeeper was making breakfast for his full house.  Meanwhile, Joseph was possibly feeling a little overwhelmed by the responsibility confronting him, and the Bible says Mary was ‘pondering’, ‘treasuring all these things in her heart’ (Luke 2:19) as she held and fed her new-born baby.

Last month I included a request for assistance in delivering the Kibworth & District Chronicle however in the article I quoted an incorrect contact telephone number for which I am sorry.

With the festive season on the horizon, the crew at Kibworth Fire Station wanted to share an update with our community about the work we’ve been carrying out and the incidents we’ve recently attended. Our focus is, as always, on protecting the public. Both through our emergency response and by offering fire safety guidance and support whenever it’s needed.
