The Spinners’ inaugural club tournament was held in April. First place was secured by 15 year-old Dillon Kearney. Runner-up Drew Harbidge pushed all the way in a final which was well worth watching.

Illston on the Hill WI welcomed Margaret Hudson to entertain us at our April meeting. Margaret was formerly a Tiller Girl. If you don’t know about Tiller Girls ask your Mum or Granny. Margaret is in her 90s and she arrived as if she were a 50 year old. She looked a million dollars dressed in a fabulous sequinned emerald green jacket and she moved so beautifully.

At our April meeting, Kibworth Art Lovers were treated to an inspiring demonstration of line and wash painting by Tim Fisher. Tim, a leading artist, author and art tutor, has been a professional artist since 2000 and has won numerous awards.  He is a great believer in keeping a sketchbook “both as a means of recording fleeting elements within (his) surroundings and as a device that can be used to develop further artwork” much of which features ink drawing.

The Kibworth Bowling Club is delighted to have received two new benches. These have been very kindly donated by Ashley and Shaun Burbery in memory of their parents, Christine and David, who were members of the club for many years.

As the Chronicle goes to press a small group from the Band will be enjoying the bluebells in Swithland Wood. They will be playing for the annual Bluebell Service. They will then be supporting and encouraging the Youth Band in a Summer Concert at St Wilfred’s Church, Kibworth on Saturday 17 June at 2.30pm.

Illston on the Hill WI have arranged to plant a flowering tree in the church yard in memory of our dear friend Mavis Green who died on 19 January.

In spite of a cool breeze and deluges of rain, 25 individuals turned out for our April MU meeting on Thursday 6 April.

Date: Friday 26th May

The club have achieved a lot in the past month, making the most of better weather and lighter evenings. We were proud to support our group of Couch to 5K runners in their final runs; some ‘graduated’ at Market Harborough Parkrun, others completed in their own time. We are pleased to have welcomed several new members to the club following the programme.
