In a world constantly driven by boys’ football, there's a quiet revolution happening. It's the rising popularity of girls’ football at Kibworth Town Football Club.

Our next meeting will be on Thursday 7 March at the Methodist Chapel Hall. Doors open at 2pm for a cup of coffee or tea and a chat with other members, followed at 2.30pm by a talk given by Jeff Bates entitled Vegetables for Small Gardens!

Our members have just returned from our annual visit to Potters Resort, Hopton-on-Sea, where the World Indoor Bowls Championships are taking place. As always, we were really impressed by the bowling skills demonstrated and hope we can be as good one day! We thoroughly enjoyed the weekend and were able to partake in a wide range of other activities. These included snooker, swimming, quizzes, line dancing and even Morris dancing. The evening entertainment was first class and the food plentiful.

Happy New Year from all of us at Fleckney & Kibworth Running Club. It was a busy end to 2023 for team F&K with various races, and festive runs to report.

There is a lot written about mental wellbeing these days and taking exercise as a means of staying healthy. BBC Radio 4 has many programmes detailing ways to keep healthy and avoid going to see the Doctor. Getting outside and going for a walk with a group of people has to be one of the best ways of achieving this.

Illston-on-the-Hill WI met in December for the last time in 2023. A few members were absent due to party and visiting commitments. However, this did not deter us from our activities.

Rehearsals are well underway for our annual Pantomime - the rats are sharpening their teeth and Tommy the cat, his claws!
