On Friday 9 June we had our annual charity golf day at Kibworth Golf Club. This year we supported our local air ambulance. 19 teams of four competed, with a shot gun start at 1pm. We were lucky with the weather. Even if the golf wasn't inspiring for some, they enjoyed a walk and friendly chat! All the teams gathered for a buffet meal afterwards. Prizes were handed out to the more skilful and competitive teams.

A warmer welcome to an update from Kibworth Cricket Club. Last month, when drafting the article, we were sat looking at the ground becoming wetter and wetter. Fortunately, warmer weather has developed. We have fantastic groundsmen leading to the ground looking in excellent condition.
