We’re a mixed Community Choir based in Foxton. Whether you’ve been in a choir before or you’re completely new to the idea you’d be most welcome. So why not give us a try?

Our January meeting was a fine start to the new year, with Alison Orr leading us in a session of Laughter Yoga. From the moment Alison entered the hall and began to chat and laugh with members as they arrived, we sensed that we were in for an enjoyable evening.

At our January meeting we were treated to a talk about Wildlife in Kibworth by an enthusiastic amateur who is a member of our WI. The speaker was Julie Harrison accompanied by her husband Ian. Julie spoke about the different species of birds and other animals illustrated by superb photographs taken by Ian.

As the days get longer and the temperature begins to rise, beekeepers start to look forward to the start of the next bee keeping season. Right now, our Queen bees are increasing the rate at which they lay eggs and the worker bees that emerged last autumn are rearing the young larvae to be the next generation of bees.

Our December fun began when David and Martin invited us to Kibworth Hall for an afternoon of carols. Between singing along with us, they served us Prosecco and warm mince pies and we thank them for making us so welcome in their beautiful home.

The last meeting of 2022 for Illston on the Hill WI was held in December. Where has the year gone? Or is the speed of time just another example of the policemen getting younger and younger?

It’s been a steady December with runners taking part in winter races as well attending club runs – including a Christmas lights tour of Leicester city!

Since the Kibworth Tip closed in November 2021, contractors Willmott Dixon, working on behalf of LCC, have been busy redeveloping the site and transforming it into the new facility that we will soon be able to use. Back in June they reached out to share with us what they were doing, inviting the cubs and scouts to the site to take a look at what was going on and learn about construction methods and waste recycling plans.

The Great Glen Gardening Club will next meet on Thursday 2 February, at 2.30pm in Great Glen Methodist Chapel Hall.
