Kibworth & Fleckney Inner Wheel

After an absolute eternity communicating through technology, Illston WI eventually got together in July.

As the country has moved progressively out of Lockdown we have more or less succeeded in reinstating our full programme of short, half day and all day walks and both existing and new members have been turning out with growing confidence. I personally recently sampled one of our Thursday morning walks; this was a shade less than 6 miles. The expectations that I had for this walk, from Ab Kettleby in this case, were all met including being well led by one of our many experienced walk leaders Paul. The bonus on this occasion was the prospect of sharing a well earnt lunch at the villages Sugar Loaf Inn with fellow walkers. A timely reminder that quite apart from the obvious health and fitness aspects that the sociability and camaraderie of Rambling remains intact! We continue to experience and indeed welcome newcomers to our ranks, many new faces have come across us via our Facebook page.

There have been 3 further races in the Reunion League since our last update. Race 2 in the series was the Joy Cann 5 Mile race hosted by Huncote Harriers. Ten club members were in a field of over 500, with a trio of Ladies leading the way, Lorna Muskett, Abby Davies and Bernadette Owen (1^st in Age Category.) The men’s contingent saw Kirit Patel back first, with John Redfearn, Alan Gibson, Jamie Owen and Andy Kemp also completing. Emma Boyd and League Race debutant Tracey Coates made up the Ladies Team.

This year has certainly been challenging for us all down at Kibworth Golf Club. After mastering the restrictions put upon us by COVID and successfully keeping all of our members, staff and visitors safe, we sat back and took a deep breath.,

As we reach the business end of the 2021 season, our first senior team silverware of the season has made its way back to Kibworth Cricket Club. We played Loughborough Town at Leicester County Cricket Club on a fantastic Sunday afternoon. Our 12 man squad, made up of 7 players that have come through the juniors at Kibworth Cricket Club, had a superb day winning by 8 wickets.
