During the past few weeks Kibworth and Fleckney Rotary Club have been running competitions at the local schools. These were for Young Writer, Young Artist and Young Chef.

In the February edition of the Kibworth & District Chronicle we outlined what your local Rotary Club had achieved during over 30 years.

“Oils feel precious,” was the response when artist Lesley Brooks was asked why some artists are wary of painting in oils during the latest meeting of the Kibworth Art Lovers. She then went on to demonstrate her own technique for mastering and enjoying this medium.

We began our outdoor season on 7 April with the first of our Monday evenings for all members and prospective members. If you would like to try out a game, join us at the Club between 5.30 and 7.30pm. on any Monday evening. Later in the year we will be holding an Open afternoon for new members – on Sunday 18 May from 2-4 p.m. Or you might prefer to join our ladies only afternoons on Tuesdays from 2-4 p.m.

Have you ever thought of giving table tennis a go? Here at the Fleckney Spinners we take absolute beginners, adults and children. Our latest addition is 8-year old Seb Kaubi, who is as keen as mustard to get going on his TT journey.

The Leicester and Leicestershire Photographic Society 2025 annual exhibition will be held at Christchurch Clarendon Park Road, Leicester LE2 3AH.
