As we move towards Autumn, the crew at Kibworth Fire Station wanted to take the opportunity to share some of the work they have done, along with the incidents they have attended, with the local community. Our role is always centred on keeping people safe. Whether that’s through responding to emergencies or providing fire safety advice and support.
The season of mists and mellow fruitfulness can yield some perfect days for walking – not too hot, not too cold. So, how about tackling the Leicestershire Round this autumn?
St Wilfrid's Church would like to extend a huge ‘thank you’ to everyone who attended our Harvest Service on 28 September and 9.30 Express Family Harvest Festival on 5 October; it was wonderful to welcome so many people! We would also like to thank Kibworth Primary School, whose Harvest Service took place in the church on 29 September.
Students have come back from the summer holidays with a really positive attitude and have collectively achieved over 118,000 reward points for demonstrating our values of work hard, be kind, be proud, which bodes really well for the school year.
The Well charity with café, clothing shop and foodbank in Kibworth High Street, has been going for nearly 20 years now, with a fascinating story of how it came about.
There has been considerable discussion recently about the nature of nationalism and patriotism. This has prompted reflection on symbols of unique and inextricably British identity that I have personally embraced.
Bridge 67 Butchers are giving back to their community with a cheeky style calendar all in aid of charity. The popular butchers have bought out all the props to take photographs of their staff in a ‘Calendar Girls’ style manner, which once compiled together will make a fun gift. With all profits going half each to their two chosen charities, MNDA, very much in the news at the moment with the recent diagnosis of Lewis Moody and Yellow Wellies promoting farm safety, it makes for a brilliant Christmas present for anyone with an interest in rugby and farming. These are two areas very much of interest for both John and Jill, the owners of Bridge 67 Butchers. To order yours now or to make a donation to these two wonderful charities please pop into Bridge 67 Butchers, 36 High Street, Kibworth.
