Fleckney 1 were confident going into the final Elbow Tankard match to decide the fourth semi-final team. They were fully expecting to overwhelm their own second team, but were pulled up short when the latter went into a 4/0 lead. The first team dug deep with Bob Pateam buting 5 from 6, and Andy Haddon 4 from 6, to grab a 12/8 victory.

Three years after retiring I was stuck in a rut; I “needed to get out more”. So in 2011, after seeing an article in the Kibworth & District Chronicle, I went to Kibworth Bowling Club’s open day. This decision I have never regretted. I was made to feel very welcome and introduced to “mats, bias, jacks and woods”. After an hour’s bowling the coach bought me a beer at the club’s bar.

Kibworth Bowling Club was filled with the sound of country music and the shuffle of dancing feet this week as ITV Central News filmed a feature on the village’s thriving line dancing class.

Countdown has begun for our concert- ‘KLC does Rock!’

Please see below a photograph of the new Noticeboard at Kibworth Allotments and also our Chair, Robin Ager, holding an owl box, that the Kibworth and District Chronicle have kindly contributed towards.

At our AGM on Tuesday 2 September, we were delighted to acknowledge the very successful year that our group has had. From our successful Christmas show in 2024, ‘Holly Jolly Saves Christmas’, to our murder mystery supper night, ‘Murder in the Mailbox’, that was performed in local village halls. Both shows were great fun to put on and went down really well with our audiences. Thanks was given to everyone both back stage and on-stage for their time, effort and enthusiasm that made these shows the success they were.

Are you affected by Parkinson’s? Why not join our choir?
The choir welcomes all people affected by Parkinson’s; their family, carers and friends. You can join at any time. No expertise is necessary – just come along and sing!
The benefits of singing are well-documented. Singing releases happy endorphins, it helps with breathing and posture, it helps keep pathways open in the brain for speech. When singing there is no time to think of any worries or concerns, it demands all of our attention. Singing together can produce a beautiful sound.
Join us and see for yourself! It's a happy, friendly group, with tea and biscuits too!
We meet once a week, with some breaks in school holiday times.
Contribution of £8 per session. Fridays 1.30 - 3.30pm

Welcome back everyone to a new school year. To any new families attending Kibworth Primary School, a quick introduction. We are a registered charity consisting of parent and staff volunteers working together to help raise funds for the school, host events for pupils and their families and help enhance the school community.

2025 will be a summer to remember for young people and volunteers from 1st Kibworth Scouts. They embarked on a twelve day adventure packed, expedition style trip through Europe! Starting off early one morning at Market Harborough station, they travelled by train. They each had large backpacks and smaller rucksacks on their backs and chests.

Joseph Throughout his time at Church Langton Joseph has shown unwavering kindness and compassion to other students, both older and younger. He has a thirst for knowledge which he always pursues in an admirable manner.

We hope you've all had a fantastic summer!

Foxton Community Choir would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who supported our ‘Summer Dreamin'’ concert in June, on one of the hottest nights of the year. It was an evening of great music, love and laughter, with the choir performing a range of toe-tapping tunes alongside traditional choral pieces. The choir is now gearing up for another busy year, starting in September when we begin preparing for our Christmas concert which will take place on Friday 12 December.

HWu3a is hosting National U3A Week from Saturday 20 September to Thursday 25 September with a diverse range of activities. This presents an ideal opportunity to engage in novel pursuits and promote HWu3a within the Market Harborough community.

At Kibworth Golf Club this summer has been an outstanding one for our Juniors. Noah Williams (U15) and Evan Fowler (U12) travelled to Northern Ireland to take part in the prestigious Champion of Champions Junior World Championships! With 250 juniors from 49 countries competing, it’s an incredible achievement just to qualify. Both boys secured their spots through the Robert Rock Junior Tour. Noah finished 1st and Evan 2nd in their age categories last season. Over three 18-hole rounds, Noah produced an excellent performance to finish 9th out of 40 competitors. While Evan secured a strong 30th place out of 60.

Over the long warm summer there have been plenty of art exhibitions and Open Studios in the region to keep Kibworth Art Lovers inspired and looking forward to the start of our new season.
