The Kibworth Art Lovers Society held its annual exhibition at the Kibworth Community Hub. Held on the first weekend of June, we were delighted with the public response. After the great team effort of gathering in the entries, receiving the paintings, setting up the screens and hanging the art works to the best advantage, a footfall of over 200 visitors from the village and farther afield was our reward.

What a success, yet again, LMT’s Quizaret was. With ten teams competing, it was ‘heads down’ for the table quizzes before ‘curtain up’ at 7.30 for the start of the Cabaret.

Our April speaker, Yuko Dixon, entertained us with an interesting and enjoyable evening of Japanese food. She began by telling us a little about her background. She lived in the USA before moving to the UK about 18 years ago. She set up her “own little world”, as she put it, with a background in marketing helping her to establish her business. As well as giving talks and demonstrations to groups such as ours, Yuko goes to people's homes to cater for parties and special occasions. She also teaches the art of preparing Japanese food to small groups.

Andy Shore describes himself as a self-taught artist who likes to dabble with all painting mediums, but it was his personal watercolour technique that he demonstrated to the Kibworth Art Lovers in our April meeting.

Roy Mitchell’s recent presentation offered a captivating journey into the historical and architectural wonders of Stoneywell Cottage. A quintessential representation of Arts and Crafts ideal, nestled within the idyllic countryside and owned by the National Trust. Stoneywell Cottage has endured a rich tapestry of events, from its humble beginnings in 1898 to its current status as a cherished heritage site.

June brings our footballing event for girls back for its second year running. The four dates offered throughout June are FREE to attend taster sessions hosted by Kibworth Town FC (see below for details). Our vision is to increase the profile of girls playing football and to increase opportunities to play for fun, fitness, skill development, friendships and team building.

Our County FA recently approached Kibworth Town FC to discuss setting up a disability football programme.
