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

A warm, joyful spirit filled Leicester Cathedral on Sunday 9 August as a well-attended special 150th Mothers’ Union service brought together members from across the diocese including some representatives from our own longstanding Kibworth MU group. The occasion marked a significant milestone in the worldwide Mothers’ Union story, honouring 150 years of faith, fellowship, and practical Christian service to families in need of support.

Kibworth & Smeeton WI’s summer programme began in June with a craft evening led by Beverley, who gave members a prepared pack containing instructions for making a sheep-shaped keyring.

Jane Lacey’s annual charity day raised over £2,280 in two hours. Hundreds of people turned up for tea/coffee, cake and a chat. £1,580 was taken at the event whilst £535 has been paid via the JustGiving page plus £123.75 gift aid. There is still time to give to this great cause. Jane says she will do it all again next year!

The Telraam figures are in for the whole year up to the end of August. The figures do not make pleasant reading.

Saturday 5 September was Mia Ashton’s Junior Captains’ day at Kibworth Golf Club. The event was well attended with 27 junior golfers battling it out over 18 hole, nine hole, and flag 50 competitions. During the day Mia also ran a raffle with all proceeds going towards the captains’ charities (Heartwize and Melanoma Trust). Through the generosity of players and parents, £430 was raised. Mia would like to thank everyone who donated a prize, with some local organisations donating (Farley Country Attire, Jewson Market Harborough, The Co-op, and MB performance golf). The winners on the day were, Oscar Williams (best Gross), Daniel Robinson (best Net), Joshua Buzzard (nine hole) and Harry Wiggly (Flag 50).
