At their October meeting members enjoyed a fascinating talk about the work of GEMS Charity. This is run by local couple Sally and Andy Anderson. Their aim is to make life more comfortable for people attending the chemotherapy suite at Leicester Royal Infirmary. In the past decade they have given an amazing £275,000 to the department.

Dr Tim Gray treated Kibworth & District u3a members to a fascinating talk at the November Third Tuesday Social.

Local Smeeton Westerby resident Bob Capell had an idea before the first locked down to collect old car batteries to weigh them in for cash for GEMS Charity. Eighteen months later this came to fruition. Andy from GEMS and Bob packed up Bob’s truck and went to a scrap metal dealer in Market Harborough unloaded. They unloaded the truck and were presented with a check for £328.48, what a fantastic amount well done and thanks Bob.

Leicestershire Wildlife Hospital will be holding three events in November and one in December in the Kibworth Village Hall. 15 Station Street LE8 0LN.

Could I say a huge thankyou to all the generous people who supported our Macmillan Coffee Morning in Shangton on Saturday 25 September.

We finally managed to hold the first meeting of the New Normal Cancer Support Group. It was lovely to see everyone.

The clocks have gone back, the nights are drawing in and the first signs of Christmas are appearing in the shops.
