As part of the Platinum Jubilee celebrations taking place on Smeeton Road Recreation Ground on Sunday 5 June, Kibworth Tennis Club ran free fun tennis sessions for children and adults. It was a great opportunity for children and adults to try tennis, some for the first time. Over 45 children and adults joined in the sessions and all had a good time! 

Market Harborough’s very own orchestra (MHO) is preparing to give it’s 23^rd concert under the baton of Stephen Bell. It is on Saturday 2 July 2022 at 7.30pm at the Methodist Church, Northampton Rd, Market Harborough. 

Every May, WI's discuss a shortlist of resolutions before the national AGM in June, when we reach a final decision. We then send the chosen resolutions to the Government to request action. This year, the Kibworth & Smeeton WI only put one resolution forward. Women and Girls with ASD (Autistic Spectrum Disorder) and ADHD Under-Identified, Under-Diagnosed, Misdiagnosed and Under-Supported. Two committee members explained to members that in the past, only boys were considered to have these conditions, whereas in fact girls also have them in various forms. Members were able to discuss and ask questions before a vote, which passed the resolution. We then send a delegate to the AGM. If it is also passed at national level a full campaign will be developed to improve awareness and diagnosis, and to explore ways of supporting women and girls. 

The longer days are now allowing us to open up our programme to longer walks and more far flung destinations as we head into the great British summer time.
