‘Place the body near the beginning of your book—preferably on the first page, perhaps the first sentence’ - Louise Penny

Kibworth Chronicle Association (Kibworth and District Chronicle) invites all Chronicle members and volunteers (those involved in the composition, production, administration and distribution) who wish to attend its Annual General Meeting.

Sadly, the decision by HM Government Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities on building a Super Prison at Gartree has been deferred yet again. The decision is now due to be announced on Wednesday 8 November.

Kibworth Tennis Club has taken steps to ensure their defibrillator is accessible to the local community.

Apart from the odd spell, this summer’s weather has not been very kind to us. Resulting in a lower number of visitors, and not a great many boats. This impacts on many local businesses and services, as ‘the tourists’ have an effect beyond just the Locks.

I first became interested in collecting badges as a child. One of my earliest dates from the mid-1960s and conferred on me the status of ‘TV21 Special Agent’. TV21 was a popular comic at the time. Like its predecessor Eagle, featuring comic strip stories and non-fiction articles about science, spaceflight and more.

This year Hallaton Museum is opening its doors to a new exhibition ‘Where there’s a Will, there’s a Way’, an incredible insight to a story which has never been told before.

During the summer months, The Well will continue to offer support to residents of Kibworth and surrounding villages through our free advice drop-ins and food bank.  And of course, our café and pre-loved clothes shop will be open as usual.

We have come to the end of another season of your Kibworth & District Chronicle.  We are taking a two month break now but will return in September. Before we go however we thank the legions of volunteers who write, assemble, read through, take photos, and deliver your Chronicle. Be they old or young, they all deserve a big thank you from the Chairman, Editor and Management Team. So THANK YOU. You are a great team!
