Readers may have noticed that on the front page of every Chronicle published since October 2002 there is an eight-digit number following the letters ISSN.

Love or loathe Facebook, the global app does have a number of good qualities. One of my favourites is Facebook Memories – where it shows you photos you have shared in the past on the app. Always nice to get a visual reminder of a child’s birthday or a social event, or just something a bit more mundane.

Greetings! And welcome back to the Chronicle season for 2021-22.

Editorial note.

Hello everyone.

To me, The Kibworth & District Chronicle represents community. The first time I saw a copy, the sense of belonging and common interest shone through. What a lovely place to live! 

Teachers, teachers leave those kids alone; Pink Floyd's lyrics do not accurately describe the situation as it is now. However, the kids, many kids are being left alone and at home with parents and grandparents who are thrust into the role. This role ever was the introduction of Universal Education by the post war Labour Government and has been passed to professionally trained teachers (the preparation was the work of R.A. Butler, a member of the national wartime government and the resulting1944 Education Act). 

Back in March, before I’d contracted the Coronavirus, I had a holiday booked for the start of June. At the time I was confident that all the Covid-19 disruptions would be over and I could look forward to some sun, sea and sand abroad. How wrong I was!

Thank you for the kind compliments about our colourful Kibworth Chronicle. We, the management committee, are very pleased with them too.
