Every year Kibworth Bowling Club supports a local Charity via our Club President. This year our President is The Rev Alan Pyke, his nominated Charity is Admiral Nurses.The charity works alongside people with dementia, and their families, giving one-to-one support and expert guidance. Here at the Bowling Club we hope to raise enough money to enable an Admiral Nurse to operate in the Kibworth/Harborough area.

We are pleased to announced that the ECB All Stars and Dynamos Cricket courses are open for entrants. We are proud to be able to provide these courses.

As our name suggests we are the “go to” Ramblers group for the City of Leicester and its outlying conurbations radiating out to maybe a dozen miles from the centre.

The league season for seniors and juniors is upon us and we have just held our first friendlies in the April snow. It was so cold, but much relief to finally be out and playing cricket.

A year after our Kibworth and Smeeton WI members’ meeting in early March 2020 - just before the first lockdown - we held a meeting on Zoom. Some members had been taking part in online activities organised by the National Federation of Women’s Institutes. But, for many this would be their first meeting. A chance then to see and speak to their W.I. friends, albeit on a computer screen. The committee was looking for something light-hearted and fun. They chose Steve Price, with his, “Virtually Impossible Magic Tricks and Illusions.”

We, as live theatre, may be glimpsing a tiny light at the end of a very long tunnel. We hope it won’t be long before we’re able to start preparations for ‘treading the boards’ again!  In the meantime, just a few recollections of some unintended humorous Last Minute Theatre moments of the past 21 years.

If you are a potential new player to KCC reading this, please get in touch and we can ensure you are included in the groups and communications. We have arranged pre-season fixtures for all teams ahead of the season starting on Saturday 24th April - see below:

Club members have been involved in several events throughout the opening weeks of 2021. We are looking forward to running in smaller groups as Lockdown conditions ease.

This wine comes from Monterrei, a region of Galicia in green NW Spain - not to be confused with Monterey in Mexico (dangerous) or Monterey in California (expensive). The Godello grape nearly became extinct in the 1970s and is now the next big thing after Al-barino.
