Illston on the Hill WI is back again! We are holding our Christmas Fayre on Saturday 26 November, 10am–1pm in the Village Hall. There will be crafts, gifts, cakes, cards, plants, cosmetics, jewellery, tombola, ‘loved again’ and our Master Bee Keeper.

On 8 September members of the committee were preparing the Hall in readiness for our meeting when they heard the sad news of our Queen’s death. Our president made the decision to go ahead with the meeting. We all sang ‘Jerusalem’ as a tribute in honour and respect for Her Majesty, who had had a long association with the W.I. 

Another summer and season of cricket has flown by at Kibworth Cricket Club. We are celebrating many successes; the main highlight being the First XI winning the Leicestershire and Rutland Premier League.

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.

A group of 25 Kibworth Rambling Group members visited Dolserau meaning ‘Meadow of the stars’ Hall near Dolgellau. Set in the rolling green Welsh countryside, it was a perfect base for our four-night autumn walking holiday. A series of eight organised walks over various distances included, for the adventurous, an ascent of 2930 ft (893m) Cadair Idris.

A date for your diary Thursday 3 November at 2.30pm at the Methodist Chapel Hall. Please come and join us for a talk on THE PUMPKIN EXTRAVAGANZA, given by Russell Attwood.
