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.

Hi! I'm the Silver Scam Checker.

Kibworth Bowling Club was filled with the sound of country music and the shuffle of dancing feet this week as ITV Central News filmed a feature on the village’s thriving line dancing class.

So, our first half term of the school year is done. Thank you to those who supported our Virtual Balloon Race and helped us raise £120. An extra thank you to our winner, who kindly donated their prize back to the school. We are also packing all our old and foreign coin donations to send, we will share our total raised soon.

Countdown has begun for our concert- ‘KLC does Rock!’

As we celebrate this year’s Harvest Festival, we are reminded of the true meaning of community — coming together to share what we have and support one another. This season, the local food bank has been deeply moved by the generosity of our community.

Between the Church and the Grand Union canal you come across a field where the above three oak trees stand. They are now 20 years old. They were planted in late 2005 to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the Battle of Trafalgar on 21 October 1805.

Well what an amazing day we had. The sun shone and the people came. We completely smashed last year’s total, taking £1,600 on the day which was incredible. Through my JustGiving page an additional £838 was raised and with further donations the final total was £2,648.
