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.

Illston on the Hill WI have arranged to plant a flowering tree in the church yard in memory of our dear friend Mavis Green who died on 19 January.

In spite of a cool breeze and deluges of rain, 25 individuals turned out for our April MU meeting on Thursday 6 April.

Date: Friday 26th May

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.

The latest news and events from Kibworth & Fleckney Rotary Club.

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.

With winter well and truly behind us an avid walker of the course completed her seasonal collection of photographs of a single conifer tree on the course throughout the year. It makes you realise how changes are hard to notice over a long period of time and are not as subtle as you may think.

Our March meeting was led by professional artist Maxine Dodd who lives and works in Church Langton. She is known primarily for her award-winning images of cyclists, in ink and watercolour. She also has experience of using a wide variety of media.
