The photograph below shows some of our women and girl players ready for action on a Wednesday night at Kibworth Mead Academy where ‘Fleckney Spinners Table Tennis Club’ will be playing for the next year or so while Fleckney Sports Centre is demolished and rebuilt. Everyone is welcome to a free session at 7pm on Wednesday nights with coaching a free optional extra.

There will be a good variety of stalls including homemade wooden goods, craft stalls, handmade cards, jewellery, Tropic skin care products, knitted & crochet goods, including lots of assorted homemade items, jigsaws  books, pre-loved clothes, raffle and lots more.

It comes in a variety of styles, from very dry to very sweet and at bargain prices, and yet it’s difficult to sell. It’s sherry of course. 

All the members of Illston on the Hill WI enjoyed a thoroughly delightful last meeting of 2025. We were treated to a fantastic papercraft workshop led by our very talented member, Hazel Cave. Hazel had clearly put in a great deal of time and effort preparing an impressive range of projects for us to make.  They included Christmas crackers, designer parcel wrapping, charming tree decorations and several other creative items, ensuring there was something for everyone to enjoy.

The choir have been in full festive force bringing joy to the school and local community during several Christmas performances. They kicked off with a special singing assembly for the whole school where all the adults and children sang along. They especially loved an energetic rendition of The Twelve Days of Christmas!
