March was another busy month for the Hall and we had the usual number of regular classes. At the end of the month the Hall was booked out for Main St Theatre and Kibworth Theatre Companies’ joint production of A Bunch of Amateurs. The production played to a very full Hall for three consecutive evenings. Leicester Wildlife Hospital did a table top sale. Additionally, we remain well used for children’s parties.

Some time ago, when I was at secondary school, I heard a boy (it was a boys only school) give a friendly shout ‘titch’.

The boy calling was one of his cronies.
