Dr Tim Gray treated Kibworth & District u3a members to a fascinating talk at the November Third Tuesday Social.

It is the time of year when miracles are at the top, or near top, of people’s minds. A miracle is something that happens, which as yet, cannot be explained in a convincing way. Over 100years ago people rushed into the streets when a plane flew over - the miracle of flight! There is a daily miracle close to home, on our doorstep; the men and women who choose to spend their lives working in the Health Services. Their lives are devoted to ensuring recuperation, the relief of pain and the return to full health of their fellow human beings. Further study is required throughout their careers, whatever speciality is chosen.  Why do these men and women choose this demanding career? Many, not all, are from a home or school with religious values that motivate them to carry their beliefs into their work. Without their decision and subsequent contribution, our health service would be drastically short of much needed staff.

At Kibworth Creatives Choir we have been busy practising for our very first public performance at the Kibworth Late Night Shopping event. What a terrific turnout!

The Remembrance Day Service, led by Ludger Fremmer, from outside St Wilfrids Church on Sunday 14 was extremely well attended. Possibly up to a 1,000 people came together and lined the street.

Firstly, Kibworth Station would like to thank everyone who donated to our recent charity event challenge to climb to the summit of Mount Snowdon in fire kit. The current total is a huge £3718. The challenge was taken to raise money for local charity The Well, along with The Firefighters Charity both of which do amazing work.

The Kid Collective has arrived in Kibworth! We are an independent toy and gift retailer based locally and have been selling online for over three years. We are excited to bring our products to life in a pop-up shop that is full of wonderful toys waiting to be discovered. You can find us on Station Street in Kibworth until 23 December.

Why do companies hide the truth about their activities?

Tackling climate change, conserving our heritage, and keeping people safe are just some of the priorities set out in a major new blueprint. Coming out in November, residents will get the chance to have their say in the refreshed strategic plan.

Restoration work on the Kibworth Windmill has continued throughout the last month despite some heavy rain and strong winds. Most of the work to repair the bottom of the main post has been completed. Work has started on parts of the upper levels. New sails and steps are being made at the Bristol workshop of the millwrights, Dorothea Restorations. They will not be brought to Kibworth until all the other work has been completed.
