The local running scene is well on the road to returning to normal with a number of members taking part in events recently. There are also fixtures in the diary for a trimmed down version of the Leicestershire Road Running League.

On Thursday 27 May Kibworth Golf Club members Graham Thompson and John Addison completed their 12 hour, 54 hole golf challenge in aid of LOROS. The challenge was in memory of past members Nick Lacey and Rod Mitchell who sadly passed away within 24 hours of each other at LOROS Hospice last October.

We are coming to the end of the Rotary Year and what a year ! Robert Easthorpe will be taking over from Michael Smith as president from Thursday July 1st.

The latest from Kibworth & Smeeton WI. Our members’ meeting for May was again on Zoom, with a talk entitled “A Cambridge Virtual Tour.” The speaker, Murray Jacobs, has been a green badge guide for several years, for the last year only via Zoom.

The Kibworth (and Surrounding area) Photography Group was set up on Facebook book in November 2020. It was initially set up by Andy Marlow with myself then joining him as admin. The group has successfully had their first meeting in June at Foxton Locks. We took a selection of photos of the locks and surrounding environment using a variety of cameras and phones. The session was followed by a sit down chat to get to know one another better and the types of photography we all like. The group is for anyone interested in photography, no fancy cameras needed. Our next meeting is on July 25th at Brocks Hill Country Park where we will be practising some Macro photography. Followed by pet photography in August. We are hoping to announce a venue for indoor meetings shortly. For more information please contact Andy or Beki at kibworth.photography.club@gmail.com.

After over a year of inactivity we are looking to the next Covid lockdown announcements. We hope that we will be able to reopen the band room and restart rehearsals, albeit with ‘bell covers’ on all the instruments and socially distanced seating.

Since our previous newsletter we are very pleased to report that the majority of our organised Ramblers Walking Programme has relaunched. This is as the country moves cautiously, step by step, towards resuming a more normal lifestyle.

Plans are progressing for our next production. This will be a mix of sketches, songs, poems and monologues all on the theme of Christmas. It will be on the stage for two nights on 10/11 December.
