Fleckney and Kibworth Running Club are holding a Leicestershire Road Running League Event.

All six tables were out at Fleckney Sports Centre for a pre-Christmas practice, and on 4 January to work off all the mince pies and Hogmanay whisky.

It’s been a steady December with runners taking part in winter races as well attending club runs – including a Christmas lights tour of Leicester city!

Our members have just returned from a weekend away at Potters Resort, Hopton-on-Sea. The venue for the World Indoor Bowls Championships. We greatly enjoyed being spectators at the bowls matches. We were also able to partake in many other activities including snooker, golf, quizzes, line dancing and even Morris dancing. The evening entertainment was first class and the food (too) plentiful! I put on 4lb over the 3 days!

We recently held our annual Presentation Evening at the Crown Inn, Tur Langton where we enjoyed a delicious carvery and dessert.
