The new programme for the Kibworth Art Lovers began in September with a fascinating and entertaining presentation on Illuminated Manuscripts by Maureen Hallahan. Maureen is an award-winning typographer, calligrapher and graphic designer who talked us through the evolution of calligraphy from its earliest Roman form, through the centuries to the present day. We learned how manuscripts from as early as the 4^th century were created by monks with meticulous care. Pens varied between reeds, bamboo and bird feathers until the introduction of the metal tipped pens we know today. Velum became the preferred surface.

Mike Bull from the Little Theatre gave a presentation at our last meeting, ‘The Little Theatre Past and Present’.

We did it! The first team became the first Leicestershire and Rutland League side to win the league three seasons on the bounce, which is an historic achievement. This also coincided with our most successful women's campaign as our women's team went unbeaten in their league campaign. 

Come and join us for a ‘Night at the Movies’, where we will be rolling out the red carpet for you at St Wilfrid's Church on Saturday 25 November at 7pm onwards. Proceeds will be going to charity, and there will be a cash bar only on the night.

Our next meeting will be on Thursday 2 November at the Methodist Chapel Hall. Doors open at 2pm for a cup of coffee or tea followed, at 2.30pm by

It’s been another busy month and end to the summer running season with Fleckney and Kibworth Running Club taking part in plenty of events:

“Thirty by thirty” (or 30 x 30) is the rallying cry for the rescue of our oceans, to save 30% of them by 2030 and give them time to recover, also to save a massive 10% of marine species in danger of extinction.

It is with great sadness that The Kibworth Band announce the death, just short of his 101^st birthday of their President Jack Perbedy. As we wrote in the Chronicle this time last year as he celebrated his 100^th birthday, Jack was a Kibworth lad who never forgot his roots. In gratitude and appreciation of his musical start with the Kibworth  Band, where he rose from player to conductor in a short period of time, he became a lifelong supporter of Kibworth and many other local bands.

We may be enjoying some late sunshine but the nights will be drawing in soon. Rather than spend your evening trawling through BBC iPlayer, why not come and sing with Foxton Community Choir?

It's that time of year again, after our summer break to meet up for the autumn term and start fine tuning the songs for our forthcoming charity concert!
