Travelling by car from Market Harborough to Leicester recently I noticed that at every roundabout the necessary street furniture indicating that one’s car should turn left was in disarray, flattened by someone going straight on! Of course modern cars now have exceptionally good braking systems which prevent drivers skidding all over the place; however it is the modern drivers who seem to want to test their car’s braking systems and alas are occasionally failing.

Market Harborough based Home-Start South Leicestershire were delighted to win the award for Innovative Substantive Delivery. Multiply commented:

In February Brian Johnson transported us to Spain with his talk: ‘Valencia – A Surprising City’. Brian has family there so is a frequent visitor and knows the city well. His love of Valencia shone through this really interesting talk.

Our short mat indoor bowls season in the clubhouse is ending with some really enjoyable trophy competitions. The pairs league for the Hollingsworth Cup, after some exciting matches with close scores, has already been won by Sylvia Baker and Geoff Lidbetter. The team final for the Morrison Cup has yet to be played, while on Saturday 5 April members will be finally battling it out in a singles competition for the Rose Garden Trophy, which is a full-day event.

Our Local History Season is going very well. Graham Watts’ talk about Kibworth Harcourt Post Mill was a fascinating look at the past. We are working hard to retain that knowledge today.

Dear Editor

One of the most rewarding pastimes is a short amble around a nearby local village. Looking at the various architectural buildings and admiring peoples’ front gardens etc. Luckily for us Harborough have a number of leaflets available which will guide one to see unusual or interesting features that the passing viewer might not notice straightaway.

We will be holding a table top sale on Saturday 8 March in Kibworth Village Hall LE8 0LN. From 10am to 12.45.
