Members have been busy throughout the summer. In late June, we installed our “Afternoon Tea in the Summer Garden” yarn bombing at the library. It drew many lovely comments and was enjoyed by people of all ages. Children played with the knitted animals and some were busy counting the birds and creatures in the tree and on the benches.

 Kibworth Grammar School Hall was formally opened on 11 Sept 1999. 25 years ago this month. In that time it has become an irreplaceable facility for all members of our community.

After a refreshing break of the summer holidays, LMT is now in the throes of starting rehearsals for our 2025 Pantomime. Not that things have stopped happening during the last few months, of course, as planning, script rewrites, costumes, scenery, casting, etc. etc. are quietly going on unnoticed by many but carried out diligently by the few!

RICHARD DARKE AWARDS 2024

Monday 14 October - Sunday 27 October

We are a long established group who share an interest in embroidery and textiles. Although we are affiliated to Embroiderers’ Guild we are an Independent group and currently have a membership of 36.

On Saturday 22 June Kilby Get To Know Your Neighbours held their annual Boules and BBQ night. The event was held at the home of Iain and Denise Bell and fifty two people attended. Iain Bell awarded the Boules Trophy to Andrew and Annette Hamp, newcomers to the village. Thanks go to Denise and Kathy who did the amazing salads, Jan and Iain for the bbq and Tony and Dave who organised the boules teams. The raffle and donations this year raised £220 which will go to the Coronary Care Unit at Glenfield Hospital.

Foxton Community Choir would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who supported our ‘Saturday Night Out’ summer concert in June. In the new summer venue of the Robert Monk Village Hall in Foxton, the choir and guest performers delivered an evening of music from musicals and movies, which had the entire audience tapping their toes and humming along.

It’s hard to imagine a better way to lift the spirits on a cool, cloudy Sunday afternoon than by going to the Summer Concert of the Kibworth Band. It was held at the Kibworth Hub and all seat tickets had been sold. There are in effect three bands: the Seniors, the Youth Band (some of whom have already progressed to the Seniors so play in both) and the Training Band. These young children are just learning their instruments but gave us an excellent effort with their short programme, including ‘Ode to Joy’ and ‘When the Saints go Marching In.’

An eight week course on how to meditate began recently on Wednesday 5 June in Kibworth Village Hall. The weekly sessions are on until 24 July. Each session costs £7 and are drop-in sessions. Wednesdays 1pm-2pm. Everyone is welcome. Tel 0116 262 0317.
