On Friday 15 November Kilby Get To Know Your Neighbours held their annual skittles night at The Conservative Club in Wigston. Thirty people enjoyed a very lively evening. Thanks go to Kathy Kilsby for organising the event and everyone who helped on the night. A raffle raised £82 which was given to Kilby Woodland Trust. The winner of the men’s team was Peter Parsons and Kathy Kilsby had the highest score on the lady’s team. We would like to thank the staff at The Conservative Club for their help and for providing a lovely supper.

If you love cheese, pop the date in your diary now. Our fabulous cheese festival is returning bigger and better this year at a new venue, Kibworth Community Hub (formerly Kibworth Grammar School Hall).

‘It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas’ in Burton Overy the weekend of 29 November to 1 December. Every year, (bar Covid), since the year 2000, the villagers of Burton Overy, (and we welcome others), have filled their church with beautifully decorated and lit Christmas Trees. Over the years there have been countless tree titles and ingenious ideas around the festival’s theme.

It has been noted that our excellent pharmacy had a new permanent sign installed on Monday 21 October. Romin and his wife Sahnieya Tayub have really turned around this business since they took over Lloyds Chemist. The car park spaces have also been clearly marked. Well done.
