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.

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.

If you are no longer in full-time work and finished raising a family? Join the Kibworth and District U3a, our vibrant social hub for learning and fulfillment whilst making friends and having fun.

It’s been ‘spring growth’ for the club with club members enjoying their outings with the Leicester League.

As 2021 drew to a close we felt very positive. The comments on our Christmas yarn bombing, in person or on social media, were gratifying and made it all worthwhile. People passing by even expressed regret that we were taking it down on 5 January. They had enjoyed the splash of colour. Some larger items didn’t make it outdoors because of fears that the bad weather would destroy them - but they’ll keep.
