In accordance with his wishes, several members of the band played at the funeral of their President Jack Perbedy. Also attending were two members of the Royal Marines Band who played the Last Post.

The Scouts & Guides HQ has been home the Kibworth Scouts and Guides for 50 years. Each week hundreds of young people take part in activities and pass through the door of the HQ. A number of fitness classes, baby groups, sports groups and more, use our building too.

We welcomed Jill Vickers to our September meeting to talk to us about ‘Sausage Making with Bridge 67 Butchers’. Jill and her husband John opened their shop in the centre of Kibworth in 2020. Its name derives from one of the canal bridges situated on their farmland. Bridge 67’s beef and lamb comes from their farm in Smeeton Westerby, where the Debdale valley provides excellent grazing.

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!
