The Kibworth Bowling Club is delighted to have received two new benches. These have been very kindly donated by Ashley and Shaun Burbery in memory of their parents, Christine and David, who were members of the club for many years.
As the Chronicle goes to press a small group from the Band will be enjoying the bluebells in Swithland Wood. They will be playing for the annual Bluebell Service. They will then be supporting and encouraging the Youth Band in a Summer Concert at St Wilfred’s Church, Kibworth on Saturday 17 June at 2.30pm.
The club have achieved a lot in the past month, making the most of better weather and lighter evenings. We were proud to support our group of Couch to 5K runners in their final runs; some ‘graduated’ at Market Harborough Parkrun, others completed in their own time. We are pleased to have welcomed several new members to the club following the programme.
Following a very successful outdoor season, Kibworth Bowls Club has been well represented during the full-rink indoor season at Harborough Leisure Centre. In the Monday ‘outdoor clubs playing indoors’ triples league (12 teams), our two teams finished second and third. A similar, Tuesday league saw good results for three other Kibworth teams. The Harborough internal leagues saw Malcolm Moss, Richard Bateman and past-member Malcolm Johnson top the Wednesday Aussie Pairs league. Whilst Chris Hunt, Gill Beresford (and friends from Little Bowden) won the Friday triples league.
It is that time of year again when cricket begins – if this rain ever stops and the outfield dries. After wintering well the players and members cannot wait to get started at KCC.
