Billesdon Drama Society will be performing ‘Ladies Down Under’ a comedy by Amanda Whittington at
the Coplow Centre, Billesdon on Thursday 21 to Saturday 23 March 2024.

Our Allotments will be ten years old this year and the bare field we started with is now a thriving site for flowers, vegetables, fruit and wildlife.

The Kibworth Art Lovers have been taking a winter break from meetings. But planning has been continuing to ensure an interesting programme of visits from a range of inspiring professional artists. Hopefully, at the same time, our members have been busy painting, sketching and crafting in preparation for our annual exhibition in early June.

Not much to report this month as the main focus of the Band has been on rehearsals for the Area Contest on 2 March. Contests are the more serious side of Banding with this one being particularly important since it determines the Band’s national grading.

Kibworth Tennis Club has a new club kit for 2024. A big thanks to the continued support from our club sponsor ‘Town & Country Veterinary Centre,’ based in Market Harborough, who make a significant contribution to the cost of the kit. Thanks to our models for showing off the new hoodie!

Our Third Tuesday Social speaker this month, Andy Wright, will talk all about The Well, the local Kibworth charity shop and café. The venue is Kibworth Community Hub (formerly Kibworth Grammar School Hall,) School Road, Kibworth Beauchamp. Tuesday 20 February, starting at 2pm. Guests welcome. Tea and biscuits available.

Congratulations to all of the cast and crew on the massive success of our annual Pantomime, Dick Whittington, with particular thanks to Nicole Lambert who this year, made her Directorial Debut!

The Kibworth and Smeeton's WI new year’s programme began on Thursday 11 January with John Parnell talking to us about Circus Skills, which included some of the history of the circus in this country, together with entertaining
demonstrations of juggling.

We are a few weeks into our new term and following our taster session on Thursday 11 January we have had over ten new ladies joining the Kibworth Ladies Choir, taking our numbers to 51! It has been an amazing start to the new year, with lots of positive comments from all our new ladies!
