It was celebration time for the Fleckney & Kibworth Running Club last month. We held a long overdue awards evening for the 2020 and 2021 seasons. All nominations and votes come from fellow Club Members across a variety of categories.

Last month we presented a £500 cheque to GEMS Charity. This was from the proceeds made at our Christmas concert. In return GEMS attended a rehearsal and presented us with a certificate of thanks for money raised. They confirmed the money will go towards their current project of converting a balcony into a treatment area for chemotherapy patients at the URI Osbourne building.

After an absence of two years we are pleased to report that the Annual Show of the Gardening Club will again be taking place on Saturday 3 September at Jubilee Hall, Bowden Lane, Market Harborough.

The Captains at Kibworth Golf Club for 2022/23 have now been officially nominated and voted into office. No sooner had the process been completed than the fun began with the Captains Drive-In. 

Soave is world famous, but it’s not the only white wine in northern Italy. A wine from Lugana, a region at the southern end of Lake Garda, between Lombardy and Veneto, is a worthy rival. The wine is based on a single grape variety which was originally thought to be part of the ubiquitous, but dull, Trebbiano family and therefore called ‘Trebbiano di Lugana’. DNA analysis has shown that it’s closely related to Verdicchio, (of Castelli di Jesi fame), but that it’s not identical. So now it’s called ‘Turbiana’.

We have been pleased to welcome some new members to our club from Kibworth and surrounding areas.
