We hope you all enjoyed your summer, all your donations and hard work to help GEMS Charity raise the funds to refurbish the chemotherapy treatment area at the LRI have been turned into work over the summer. So just a quick update for you all. 

Presents

Since the last Kibworth & District Chronicle landed on our doorsteps we’ve made some fantastic progress with our new land by the railway line. 

Leicestershire Wildlife Hospital will be holding a table top sale on Saturday 12 October, in Kibworth Village Hall, LE8 0LN, from 10am until 12.45pm. There will be a good variety of stalls including handmade cards, jewellery, craft stalls, bird and hedgehog food, lots of pre-loved clothes at bargain prices, plants, jigsaws, raffle, Grand Prize Draw, plus lots more.  We will be serving toasted sandwiches, hot drinks and our delicious homemade cakes, to eat in or take home for later, all at very competitive prices.

Among several interesting happenings in Kibworth since the last Chronicle there were: another Metro Bank One Day Cup match at Kibworth C.C. with 2023 holders Leicestershire Foxes moving across from Grace Road to Fleckney Road for the match versus Surrey.

Leicestershire Wildlife Hospital will be holding a fundraising meal on Thursday 17 October at The Shires Inn Peatling Parva LE17 5PU 

'Come Together' in Kibworth

Congratulations go the local Canal and River Trust, who manage Foxton Locks. They have recently won a Green Flag award for the fourth year running. This recognises their efforts to keep the site safe and accessible to the highest standards.

Our annual Charity Golf Day this year is on Friday 16 August at Glen Gorse Golf  Club, Oadby. Teams of 4, £200 per team.

In landlocked Leicestershire it seems strange to be writing about the RNLI. This volunteer organisation not only looks after our shoreline it also often oversees some of our inland lakes and water holes. There are 40,000 water holes. Saddington Reservoir is just one.
