When John Beatty first offered to visit Kibworth to give a talk to help raise funds for Kibworth Community Library very few of us knew what to expect.

Many of you will have seen that the Children in Need campaign this year raised millions for national charities. Your Rotary Club is appealing to you to think about donating locally.

As part of our 40th birthday celebrations, Leicestershire Wildlife Hospital are running a Kibworth ‘Local Scene’ Calendar Photo competition.

Everyone at GEMS Charity would like to thank the family of Jack Harling for donations after Jack’s recent passing. Jack was a great supporter and fundraiser for GEMS. This included numerous head and beard shaves, being open gardens car park attendant and donating his small change. Jack was always there if we needed him and will be greatly missed. 

After our usual service in St. Wilfrid’s Church in Kibworth, members of the Mothers Union gathered for their October meeting in the Church Hall to hear a talk by Liz Scott on her recent experience of hosting a guest from the Ukraine.

There's a bumper hawthorn berry crop this autumn. It's the biggest since records began 20 years ago, it's bringing a big boost for wildlife.

For at least the last 40 years Kibworth has enjoyed a spectacular fireworks display. This involves a huge amount of effort and planning from the Kibworth & Fleckney Rotary Club and the Kibworth Scouts & Guides. Of course, it wouldn’t be possible without the support from the Briggs Family. They loan the field and build the bonfire.

Come and join me at the Kibworth Late Night Christmas Shopping Event. I’ll be in the Village Hall with a stand selling homemade bakes and second-hand books in aid of children’s charity Youth Sport Trust (YST).
