Here is a photograph of the new entrance to Kibworth Community Hub, which is making life very much easier for our users. We are sure that readers will agree that the new entrance is a big improvement and, when we have our signage put up, we will no longer have people standing in the carpark asking where is the Community Hub/Grammar School Hall?

It was lovely to see January’s article in the Kibworth & District Chronicle about volunteering.

Kibworth Mead Academy continues to be a vibrant hub of activity, welcoming a diverse range of groups and events that bring the community together. Now partnering with ‘Schools Plus’, the academy is providing affordable venue hire while generating valuable funds to enhance its facilities and student resources.

For our article, this month we are focusing on the work of one of our partner agencies – The Bridge (East Midlands)

We are delighted to announce that our CoCo mornings have started up again. Held on the third Wednesday of the month between 10.30am and 12.00pm. It was really lovely to see so many people joining us. As the weather improves and we can once again use our beautiful little garden, I am sure we will see many more people from the surrounding villages joining us, either as they take a ‘doggy walking’ stop or just decide to pop in for free refreshments!

“Our dilemma is that we hate change and love it at the same time; what we really want is for things to remain the same but get better.” - Sydney J. Harris, Journalist

A huge thank you to everyone who supported the Friends of St Wilfrid’s concert on Friday 28 February.

Boat movements were down all last year. The winter was pretty quiet too. The seemingly unending storms wreaked havoc across the waterways system, bringing many trees down to block the navigation. There seems to have been a small spurt of activity for the February half term. Nobody is sure how the season will pan out. Some hire firms report bookings are slow. Private boats, whose numbers are increasing, tend not to travel far, and the trends are not very encouraging. Perhaps if we are blessed with some good weather, and not so many floods, things will pick up.
