Those Kibworth and District Chronicle readers who watched the Remembrance Day Parade and service in Kibworth will have noted a somewhat larger Kibworth Band leading the parade. Those extra bandsmen were members of our Youth Band. We were delighted with their participation, which will hopefully guarantee the continuation of the parade for years to come.

To an artist, the benefits of sketching are invaluable according to professional artist and teacher, Helen Neave. In the November meeting of Kibworth Art Lovers, she demonstrated & spoke about the way she uses her own sketches when completing an artwork. Not only is sketching useful for training the brain, improving observation skills and hand-eye co-ordination. It also transports the artist back to the atmosphere of the moment. Notes taken whilst sketching remind the artist of subtle details to be included in a finished piece of work.

Club members have enjoyed a busy and successful season.

At 5pm on Saturday night, 1 November, everything was ready for our annual bonfire and fireworks. The bonfire had been built with wood from the golf course and numerous pallets collected over the previous weeks. Crowd barriers had been put in place. The Guides, from Kibworth & Fleckney, were organised with their glow sticks, hot dogs and drinks for sale. An array of other hot food and wine & beer were available. Kids fairground rides had also been erected. Bright Spark Firework company had been setting up since late morning. The weather was clear, almost not a cloud in the sky, you could see the stars and the moon was rising, perfect, all we needed was a crowd!

There is just over a week to go until we perform our concert- KLC does Rock, on Saturday 22 November! Rehearsals are going really well, and we just can't wait to open the doors to you for our matinee and evening performances.
