Our Wednesday 20 April meeting will host a talk by Nick Turrell. Nick is an award-winning gardening journalist who writes for The Sunday Times, the Daily Telegraph, The Guardian and the RHS Magazine. He has also worked on TV and radio programmes including Radio Leicester every weekend. The subject will be “Tricks of the Trade of Garden Design” and should be of particular interest to anyone who has recently purchased a ‘new build’ house and is looking for inspiration for their ‘blank’ plot. He will also include a reference to his ‘On Call Garden Doctor’ service, where he visits your garden for one hour, chats about the issues, offers design advice and writes a ‘prescription,’ which you can then take to the garden centre to get what you need as and when you are ready. Sounds an excellent idea!

Over the past 12 months the club has grown and established itself within the local community. We now boast a really healthy active membership with ages ranging from 15 to 80. We have become more than just a cycling club, most of us have become really good friends and do other activities together.

Our first meeting since February 2020 took place in the lounge of the Grammar School Hall on Monday 24 January when 26 members of the Society enjoyed an inspiring evening.

February is a busy time here at KGC as we prepare for the annual AGM. The meeting gives the members the opportunity to vote for the incoming officers and review the year.

Belated Happy New Year and what a year this will be for Kibworth Ladies Choir! We are well underway rehearsing for our 10th Anniversary concert to be held this summer. Ten years – where has that time gone?

Our 2022 programme began with Baroness Bolsover guiding us through ‘The Etiquette of Taking Victorian Afternoon Tea’. She wore a beautiful Victorian tea dress and splendid hat, and carried a reticule (a dainty fabric bag with drawstrings). She told us not to worry if we’d never heard of her. Most of the good people of Bolsover hadn’t either! Thus the tone of the evening was set.

Preparations are going well as we head towards the “Area” Contest with most seats filled albeit some on a temporary basis and we are looking forward to a good result. Competition will be tough – we will be up against 15 other 1^st Section bands from the North Midlands area.

Great Glen Gardening Club has started 2022. We are resuming our regular activities after the necessary Covid adjustments of the last couple of years.
