Kibworth Grammar School Hall AGM was held on the 12 April. This was a very well attended meeting and the trustees would like to say a big thank you to all who came along.

Both theatre groups were really pleased with the reception our latest production, A Bunch of Amateurs, by Ian Hislop and Nick Newman received.

New World Chardonnay? Hardly. This South African estate was founded in 1682.

Harborough District Children and Young People’s Charity (HCYC) are very excited to announce a new youth club for the young people of Kibworth. Anyone aged 11 years to 16 years is invited to drop into The Well café on Tuesday evenings, term time, 6-7.30pm.

What goes on when we’re not singing together? Well it’s safe to say that a day in the life of KLC is very much all about having fun!

Kibworth and District u3a is an organisation that facilitates interest groups and social events for people that are no longer in full time work.

The Spinners’ inaugural club tournament was held in April. First place was secured by 15 year-old Dillon Kearney. Runner-up Drew Harbidge pushed all the way in a final which was well worth watching.

Illston on the Hill WI welcomed Margaret Hudson to entertain us at our April meeting. Margaret was formerly a Tiller Girl. If you don’t know about Tiller Girls ask your Mum or Granny. Margaret is in her 90s and she arrived as if she were a 50 year old. She looked a million dollars dressed in a fabulous sequinned emerald green jacket and she moved so beautifully.

At our April meeting, Kibworth Art Lovers were treated to an inspiring demonstration of line and wash painting by Tim Fisher. Tim, a leading artist, author and art tutor, has been a professional artist since 2000 and has won numerous awards.  He is a great believer in keeping a sketchbook “both as a means of recording fleeting elements within (his) surroundings and as a device that can be used to develop further artwork” much of which features ink drawing.

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.
