 As you are aware we meet with our Patient Participation Group (PPG) on the first Thursday of every month. This month we had 6 new patients join us to observe the meeting, and we hope that they will all decide to join the group as full members going forwards. The PPG is the correct forum to direct your concerns and queries. Please email: ppggroup.kibworth@nhs.net 

The 75th Anniversary of the Second World War was this year marked by two special occasions. Firstly we celebrated VE Day on 8 May and VJ Day on 15 August.

In May 2015 an article was published in the Kibworth Chronicle and I came across it recently whilst carrying out family history research.

It has just been made clear that the plans for the proposed new A 46 Expressway in Leicestershire have been cancelled.

There is a great deal in the news at the moment about people’s mental and emotional wellbeing, though these go hand in hand of course.

Well, 2020 certainly hasn’t been the year for travel but I think we’ve all discovered somewhere new while we’ve stayed closer to home. Whether it was walking on the golf course, wandering down a lane we’d never noticed or picking up a takeaway from a restaurant or pub we’d never tried before. Delivering books around the village, we definitely found many previously untrodden paths!

Thanks to Tengo software we now have a great new logo and website where you can  make donations. We hope you like the logo and have a little look at the website, www.gemscharity.com.

Good news - the pubs, cafes and restaurants of Kibworth Beauchamp, Harcourt, Smeeton and the neighbouring villages are open after suitable precautions have been taken.

 I work full time as a GP at South Leicester Medical Group.

The Grammar School Hall re-opened for business on 1 September.
