On a Saturday afternoon at the club we are running Mini/Junior Team Tennis Events for children between the ages of 6 to 18. The aim is to give as many children as possible, who attend the weekly tennis coaching sessions, the opportunity to put their coaching into practice by playing both singles and doubles matches against other children from the club who are of a similar standard. One photo shows children who took part in a “normal” Team Tennis event and the other one shows some of the children who took part in the Halloween Team Tennis Event.

Over 1500 people attended the Hi5 Kibworth Fireworks Spectacular. There was hot food and drinks supplied by the Scouts in Kibworth and stalls representing Fleckney Scouts, as well as the Harborough District World Scout Jamboree. Coffee was provided by 'Penny's Vintage Coffee.'

MHO, Market Harborough’s very own orchestra, is preparing to give its 24th concert under the baton of Stephen Bell on Saturday 12November at 7.30pm at Market Harborough Methodist Church, Northampton Road.

At our October meeting, members and visitors were treated to a demonstration by mixed-media professional artist, Danielle Vaughan. Danielle talked about and demonstrated her own unique style of collage art. These are created using waste materials, mainly ripped paper from magazines.

On 13 October our mouths watered in anticipation of Gail Wooliscroft’s demonstration of ‘Decadent Dessert’. The first was Waffle Berry Pudding, with waffles purchased at the supermarket bakery section, because frozen ones are usually made with potato, not good combined with fruit, custard and cream!

Yes.I remember Adlestrop -
The name, because one afternoon
Of heat the express train drew up there
Unwontedly. It was late June.
The steam hissed. Someone cleared his throat.
No one left and no one came
On the bare platform. What I saw
Was Adlestrop - only the name
And willows, willow herb, and grass,
And meadowsweet and haycocks dry,
No whit less still and lonely fair
Than the high cloudlets in the sky.
And for that minute a blackbird sang
Close by, and round him, mistier,
Farther and Farther, all the birds
Of Oxfordshire and Gloucestershire.

Following months of hard work, planning, preparation and rehearsals, Saturday 29 October was certainly a night to remember. Supported by their wonderful family and friends, Kibworth Ladies Choir sang their hearts out whilst telling the story of how the choir has evolved over the past ten years.

After Remembrance Sunday when members of the Band will be present for the parade, short service and Act of Remembrance, our thoughts will be on the LBBA Contest and, dare I say it, Christmas.

After much debate and research, we are pleased to announce that our next production will be A Bunch of Amateurs by Ian Hislop and Nick Newman.

KGSH are proud to be hosting the new Welcome Kitchen in Kibworth. Unfortunately, due to the current financial climate we are not able to offer our facilities for free. We have to balance the books too, however, we will be offering one of the sessions for free.

At our last meeting we were entertained by one of our very own members, Rhena Sturgess. Rhena has always had a great interest in antiques (perhaps that is why we get on so well!). She has lots of genuine clothes and strange items in her mammoth collection. We were just listening to her introduction when Kathy stood at the door dressed in a First World War Nurses uniform. This originally belonged to Mary Pane who is a distant relative by marriage.

We are proud to present an evening of music starring world-renowned soprano singer Denise Leigh. Denise has performed for the royal family, including our late queen, at several venues including the Royal Albert Hall and Kensington Palace. She gave a solo performance at the opening ceremony of the 2012 London Olympics. She has featured on many programmes including ‘BBC Proms in the Park’, ‘Friday Night is Music Night’ and ‘Songs of Praise’. Leigh has also performed with orchestras such as the Royal Philharmonic and London Handel Players. She will be supported on the evening by her husband, Stefan Andrusyschyn, playing the keyboard and accordion.

Like most other things the effects of Covid are still being felt in all areas of leisure and group organisations. As a result, we are still awaiting confirmation that the Leicester Contest will go ahead.

We are pleased to announce the details of our 10th Anniversary concert. It is being held at St James the Greater Church, 216 London Road, LE2 1NE on Saturday 29 October. Our special guests will be the Leicestershire Police Christian Gospel Choir. There will be refreshments, but please note that it will be a cash only bar. The proceeds will go to the COPS (Care of Police Survivors) and GEMS charities.
