We started 2026 with a bang! The ‘Leicester Taiko Drummers’ donated their evening, bringing their wonderful drums for us to have a go! It was such a successful evening, allowing our members to, once again, try something new. If there are any groups/businesses out there who could offer new experiences to our members please get in touch. 

The extraordinary public parish council meeting was held on 13 January 2026 in the Studio at the Kibworth Community Hub. 

Those in the know, know that Kibworth Cricket Club isn’t just for cricket or summer for that matter. 
Our social and community activities are all year round. A typical week includes charity meetings, birthday/retirement parties, special events, quiz nights, discos, raffles, skittles, breakfasts (bacon, sausages etc), evening snacks (bar bowls, homemade sausage rolls, spring rolls, samosas, brownies) and not forgetting a welcoming bar that serves coffee, soft drinks and alcohol (with many regular and guest ales).
In fact, this is a special year for KCC as we celebrate 20 years at the new ground.  We will be organising many special events to be announced shortly.

Reading in recent ‘Kibworth & District Chronicles’ the most inspiring lives of Amy Simkin, Andrew Carter, (January p.6 November p.8), I cannot but hope future generations will be informed so as to celebrate the near 700 years of KBGS which contributed to countless pupils’ formative years, and thus, if I may, this reminder of my proposals re the future of Grammar School Hall/Community Hub as in January’s Letters page.
