The Scouts & Guides HQ has been home the Kibworth Scouts and Guides for 50 years. Each week hundreds of young people take part in activities and pass through the door of the HQ. A number of fitness classes, baby groups, sports groups and more, use our building too.

It’s been another busy month and end to the summer running season with Fleckney and Kibworth Running Club taking part in plenty of events:

“Thirty by thirty” (or 30 x 30) is the rallying cry for the rescue of our oceans, to save 30% of them by 2030 and give them time to recover, also to save a massive 10% of marine species in danger of extinction.

It is with great sadness that The Kibworth Band announce the death, just short of his 101^st birthday of their President Jack Perbedy. As we wrote in the Chronicle this time last year as he celebrated his 100^th birthday, Jack was a Kibworth lad who never forgot his roots. In gratitude and appreciation of his musical start with the Kibworth  Band, where he rose from player to conductor in a short period of time, he became a lifelong supporter of Kibworth and many other local bands.

We may be enjoying some late sunshine but the nights will be drawing in soon. Rather than spend your evening trawling through BBC iPlayer, why not come and sing with Foxton Community Choir?

It's that time of year again, after our summer break to meet up for the autumn term and start fine tuning the songs for our forthcoming charity concert!

With the bulk of the competitions behind us I am pleased to report on varying successes during the Summer.

THURSDAY 5 0CTOBER 2023

As hopefully you have already read, hosting Leicestershire v Essex has been the focus of the committee at KCC and we again thank all volunteers who supported the day from people involved at the club for 50 years, through to those volunteering for the first time. We would also like to thank the wider community and hope there wasn’t too much disruption other than the hundreds of people at the bus stop!

We welcomed Angela from Barn, SpunYarn and Farm, a Crafter’s Journey.

Hello all! It’s quite autumnal as I write this article - did we miss the summer?! Children and students are all back at school and many of us have now returned to the ‘normality’ of work (or retirement, but with fewer grandchildren to occupy, indulge and delight in).

Run Talk Run Kibworth will meet on Monday 25 September at 6:30 pm. Meet near entrance of The Old Grammar School, School Lane, Kibworth Beauchamp, LE8 0JE.
