Illston on the Hill WI is back again! We are holding our Christmas Fayre on Saturday 26 November, 10am–1pm in the Village Hall. There will be crafts, gifts, cakes, cards, plants, cosmetics, jewellery, tombola, ‘loved again’ and our Master Bee Keeper.

On 8 September members of the committee were preparing the Hall in readiness for our meeting when they heard the sad news of our Queen’s death. Our president made the decision to go ahead with the meeting. We all sang ‘Jerusalem’ as a tribute in honour and respect for Her Majesty, who had had a long association with the W.I. 

Another summer and season of cricket has flown by at Kibworth Cricket Club. We are celebrating many successes; the main highlight being the First XI winning the Leicestershire and Rutland Premier League.

A group of 25 Kibworth Rambling Group members visited Dolserau meaning ‘Meadow of the stars’ Hall near Dolgellau. Set in the rolling green Welsh countryside, it was a perfect base for our four-night autumn walking holiday. A series of eight organised walks over various distances included, for the adventurous, an ascent of 2930 ft (893m) Cadair Idris.

A date for your diary Thursday 3 November at 2.30pm at the Methodist Chapel Hall. Please come and join us for a talk on THE PUMPKIN EXTRAVAGANZA, given by Russell Attwood.

Whether you are going through cancer treatment or recovering from cancer treatment the thought doing exercise can be hard, even though we all understand its benefits. 

No longer in full-time work and finished raising a family? Join the Kibworth & District u3a, our vibrant social hub for learning and fulfilment whilst making friends and having fun.

As autumn and winter approach are you looking for new pastimes and ways to meet people? Perhaps you remember country dancing at school, or enjoyed a Barn Dance/Ceilidh and would like to try other English dances?

During the summer holidays tennis sessions took place at the club for children aged from three to seventeen. It was a great opportunity for some children to try tennis for the first time and for other children to continue playing during the summer holidays. Over 150 children attended the sessions so it was a busy time for Mati and his coaching team!

Although we often have invited speakers to present talks on specific topics, our most recent MU meeting in the church hall on Thursday 1 September followed our usual church service. However, on this particular occasion over a cup of tea and biscuits, we had a wonderful time of spontaneous fellowship and heartfelt sharing of experiences, with the opportunity to recall some important memories from events in our lives.
