Following our disaster with the fireworks last year, and cancellation after Storm Babet and storm Ciaran flooded the field, and the losses that impacted on the Rotary Club members, the club has decided to move venues to Kibworth Golf Club. We take this opportunity to thank David Briggs for the use of his field and assistance with the bonfire over many years.

When you think of Texas you probably imagine oil rigs, cattle drives and cowboy hats, not birds. But Southern Texas is one of the top birding spots in the world due to its sub-tropical weather and mild winters.

Main Stage Theatre Company (formerly Kibworth Theatre Company and Main Street Theatre Company) are very excited about their new production, Holly Jolly Saves Christmas. The show is a must for everyone to get them in the festive mood and will appeal to those aged between five and a hundred and five.

Summer in Smeeton Westerby brought with it some really enjoyable and successful events. Our CoCo (coffee and conversation) mornings on the third Wednesday of every month, 10.30am - 12noon, have proved to be very popular and it is so nice to welcome not only people from our village but surrounding villages too.

We hope you all enjoyed your summer, all your donations and hard work to help GEMS Charity raise the funds to refurbish the chemotherapy treatment area at the LRI have been turned into work over the summer. So just a quick update for you all.

Since the last Kibworth & District Chronicle landed on our doorsteps we’ve made some fantastic progress with our new land by the railway line. 

The Picnic in the Park was enjoyed enormously by all who attended. The bouncy slide was enjoyed by young and old and despite it being a little chilly, at least it didn’t rain this year. The candyfloss stall was kept very busy and children’s races, dog agility and the Tug of War were great fun.

Although the weather finally picked up for the start of the school holidays, there have still not been very many boats through. The situation is similar elsewhere, and some hire companies have half their fleets tied up, which is highly unusual, and a worry. Visitors come to the canals to see boats, and boater spend is important to the local economy.
