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.
