Last month Philip Yorke enthralled us with tales of the investigative journalist, looking at national media practices exposing fraud, corruption and other headline-making stories.

Melanie Eaves, a reader from Kibworth, has received the following self-explanatory letter regarding mobility access around 

Kibworth Mill will once again be opening for National Mills Weekend giving members of the public an opportunity to visit the oldest mill in Leicestershire on Saturday 9 May and Sunday 10 May. Volunteers will show people around inside and outside the mill, giving visitors the chance to see the inner workings and marks left by the millers over the last 400 years.

With the worst of the weather hopefully behind us, the Kibworth Easy Riders are looking forward to a busy summer of cycling and adventures.

‘The Farm’ Returns to Harborough on Saturday 7 June in Harborough Town Square

We have had a really positive Spring term so far at KMA.

The KPA is busy this term. Our first movie nights raised almost £600, and our evening discos were a huge success, with amazing dance moves from pre-schoolers to Year 6ers!

Have you ever heard of the Kibworth & District u3a?

At our meeting in February we commenced a members project. We reviewed and annotated a thousand plus photographs, which were donated to the Society by the late Isobel Cullum’s family. Isobel was the features writer for the Kibworth & District Chronicle for nearly 30 years. She had amassed myriad photos of many people and events over the years.

Kibworth now has its own St John Ambulance Unit. It meets at the Kibworth Methodist Church school room at 8pm on the first, third and fifth Thursdays of each month.

One of the area’s most loved rural events, Blaston Show, returns on Sunday 28 June, promising a fantastic family day out for all while raising money for important local charities.
