We have gone very green!

Our focus over the last few weeks has been on the Midlands Area Contest on Sunday 8 March.

In our February meeting, professional artist Ian Mitchell, otherwise known as Inky Mitch, entertained Kibworth Art Lovers and visitors with a presentation of his unique style of line and vibrant watercolour. Ian is known in the Knighton and Clarendon Park area of Leicester for his colourful ink drawings of local shops, streets and houses.

Well, I’m sure you won’t need me to tell you that the start to 2026 has seen a little bit of rain. This hasn’t stopped the Fleckney and Kibworth runners though. First out of the starting blocks was Ellie Holland. She raced in the Harewood House Trail Races, Canicross 10k in 1.16.

We have been enjoying our indoor carpet bowls competitions this winter. This year’s winners of the Hollingsworth Cup were Les Cowley and Sue Graves (pictured below), who beat Eileen Clayton and Helen Nourish by just one shot in a nail-biting final.

Kibworth Scout Group are thrilled to announce our plans for a brand-new, modern, purpose-built Scout building on our land by the railway.

New Kibworth resident Richard Hill used to run a history group in Warwick. He gave a fascinating talk about Zulu and the Battle of Rorke’s Drift this month.  Let’s hope it’s the first of many.

Tom Ingall will be talking about his involvement in ‘The Great Central Railway’ on Tuesday 17 February.
