The Kibworth easy riders were formed 5 years ago during the Covid times with the aim of bringing cycling enthusiasts together to share their love of cycling. Over the years we have organised rides covering much of the UK and Europe. 

Several members of the twice-monthly, Monday afternoon, Family History Workshop which gathers informally in Kibworth Community Library have been actively contemplating relaunching the currently dormant Kibworth History Society. (www.kibworth.org)

We began our outdoor season on 7 April with the first of our Monday evenings for all members and prospective members. If you would like to try out a game, join us at the Club between 5.30 and 7.30pm. on any Monday evening. Later in the year we will be holding an Open afternoon for new members – on Sunday 18 May from 2-4 p.m. Or you might prefer to join our ladies only afternoons on Tuesdays from 2-4 p.m.

I’m not going to tell you about Leicester Hockey Club, (based at Great Glen). I am leaving that to some of the parents of our junior players to tell you their thoughts on their children’s experience at the club.

Have you ever thought of giving table tennis a go? Here at the Fleckney Spinners we take absolute beginners, adults and children. Our latest addition is 8-year old Seb Kaubi, who is as keen as mustard to get going on his TT journey.
