The monthly public parish council meeting was held on 1 September at 7 pm in the Studio at the Kibworth Community Hub. Kibworth Mead Academy: Council agreed to support the Academy’s proposal and s106 bid to combine two under-used outdoor courts into a fully enclosed Multi-Use Games Area (MUGA) for netball, basketball, tennis and football. It will serve around 900 pupils and be available to the wider community outside school hours. 

Competitive tennis continues throughout the winter at Kibworth Tennis Club, with adult and junior teams representing the club and October half-term camps offering more opportunities for young players to get on court.

As another golfing season draws to a close, members can reflect on a summer that has been anything but ordinary. The extreme heat and prolonged dry conditions have transformed the course, creating plenty of talking points and perhaps convincing a few golfers that their game has improved considerably!

Friday 6 November at Kibworth Golf Club

Andy Smith entertained us with “Sing a Century” in our lively September meeting. He set the mood for the evening by telling us that he particularly loves entertaining WIs because it’s all ladies so there is never a queue for the gentlemen’s toilets!

On Friday September fourth, 21 golf teams went head to head at Kibworth & Fleckney Rotary Club’s annual charity golf day. It was a shotgun start, so all the teams scattered before they all started from the 18 tees at the same time, 1pm. We had fine weather and the 84 golfers then met at the end for a buffet meal and prize giving.

Kibworth Band enters the final months of 2026 with a renewed sense of purpose, shaped by both meaningful tradition and significant change. As ever, the band’s commitment to serving the local community remains at the heart of its work, and this year’s preparations for Remembrance Sunday have carried particular poignancy. The band will once again lead the village in honouring those who gave their lives, providing the music for the parade and service. An annual duty the players regard as one of the most important and humbling moments in their calendar. 

The first week of October was ‘Taking part in the community week’ for all our Scout sections here in Kibworth.

The Kibworth Art Lovers’ new programme for 2026/27 began in September with a fascinating presentation and demo by professional printmaker, Kevin Holdaway.

What a brilliant way to wrap up the season! Ilston Abey Cricket Club travelled to Ibstock Cricket Club for their final match, and chased down a massive 328 runs with real confidence. This fantastic win earned them 25 points in the Leicestershire and Rutland League – a truly splendid finish for the club.

Folk passing by Illston village hall last Thursday night would wonder what was going on. In fact we'd forgive them for thinking contractors were in, doing major repairs - not a bit of it!! Michelle came to demonstrate how to decorate a tote bag. Not so interesting you might think, but think again.
