It’s been a busy start to the spring running season for Fleckney and Kibworth Running Club.

Following last month’s article featuring little Florrie, I should just like to say a genuinely heartfelt Thank You to all of those (including cast and crew of Last Minute Theatre) who contributed to our retiring bucket collection after each performance of the Pantomime.

By the time you read this, we will be into our final few rehearsals for A Bunch of Amateurs by Ian Hislop and Nick Newman which will take to the stage on 30/31 March and 1 April.

Your Rotary Club continues to be active, thirty six years after its formation. Many of the current members are founder members and the majority have been members for over 30 years.

Our new Captains have now been inaugurated. We are delighted that the Captains Drive-in event in February raised in excess of £600 for local based GEMS Charity. A great start to their year!

Our February speaker was Sue Adams, who spoke to us about Healthy Feet. Married to a farmer, she had been an Ofsted Inspector of daycare facilities, but decided to take a change of direction. Following a tough and intensive course she gained a BSc (Honours) in Podiatry. Setting up her own practice and working in the community. She began giving talks quite recently to help people because our feet are so important. Yet we often take them for granted until we have problems.
