June brings our footballing event for girls back for its second year running. The four dates offered throughout June are FREE to attend taster sessions hosted by Kibworth Town FC (see below for details). Our vision is to increase the profile of girls playing football and to increase opportunities to play for fun, fitness, skill development, friendships and team building.

Our County FA recently approached Kibworth Town FC to discuss setting up a disability football programme.

After our good result at the Area Contest, we have had our celebrations and are now back to reality and thinking of financing for our trip to Cheltenham in September. To this end we are looking at a concert with the Youth Band in June and another Proms Concert in conjunction with The Well later in the year.

presents at Kibworth Community Hub (formerly Kibworth Grammar School Hall) on Saturday 27 April from 7.30pm the experienced four-piece fun band ‘The Smiler’ consisting of four locals. The lead guitarist is from Foxton and plays tennis at the club. They will be playing classics and anthems from the 60s onwards. Music definitely to make you smile!

Our next meeting on Saturday 18 May will be the Annual Plant Sale from 10.00 until 12.00 noon.

Kibworth Bowls Club - April 2024. Kibworth Bowling Club’s indoor carpet bowls season has now ended following some really enjoyable competitions. The Pairs League for the Hollingsworth Cup was won by Chas Clarke and Sharon Sanderson, after some exciting matches with close scores.  

Illston-on- the-Hill WI were privileged to host Sue Pulsford, a former police officer. The tales of her time in the force during the 1960’s left us both entertained and enlightened. Under the intriguing title ‘Heartbeat, I was there’, Sue took us on a nostalgic journey through her experiences as a pioneering woman in a predominantly male police force.

At our last meeting, the Kibworth Art Lovers enjoyed an evening of exceptional photography. Rutland photographer Richard Adams presented on the night.

Fleckney and Kibworth Running Club have had a busy month with a variety of events, awards and races.
Representing the club overseas was Emma Moore who successfully completed the Barcelona Half Marathon in 2:40:11.

This winter has been especially difficult as the Greenkeepers have battled relentlessly against the elements to keep the course open as much as possible. However, spring is upon us, and we can now think about de-mudding the golf clubs in readiness for the season ahead.
