Kibworth Ladies Choir Concert
Thank you to everyone who joined us for a fabulous night of 'Music from the Movies' on 25 November, and especially to Kibworth Ladies Choir who worked so hard to truly make it a night to remember! We were delighted to have a full house at St Wilfrid's. The proceeds will be split equally between The Well, LOROS and St Wilfrid's, whose portion will be put towards an improved accessible entrance.

After our usual service in St. Wilfrid’s Church in Kibworth, members of the Mothers Union gathered for their October meeting in the Church Hall to hear a talk by Liz Scott on her recent experience of hosting a guest from the Ukraine.

What a fantastic concert many of us enjoyed in St. Wilfrid’s Church last Saturday evening, 4 November. This was a joint venture between the Friends of St. Wilfrid’s and the Harborough Singers.
