Throughout lockdown Kibworth Rangers have met weekly on Zoom and continued to complete badges and challenges. We have had lots of fun and have enjoyed getting to see each other. 

Beavers, Cubs and Scouts have continued to run but this has been by email, on Facebook, by WhatsApp and Zoom. 

A cricket practice net re-opens from the 18th May 2020 at Kibworth Cricket Club. The Club has announced one net will be opened for practise sessions.

With all live theatre currently being non-existent, there is nothing, at present, for you to note in your diary. However, as soon as we are able to safely be together, be assured that Last Minute Theatre will be back ‘treading the boards’.

The programme of demonstrations and talks for the remainder of the season is on hold until further notice. 

It’s so hard to believe that this time last year we were looking forward to our Spring fête in the library. One really good thing that has come out of this strange new world we find ourselves in, is our wonderful sense of community here in the Kibworths and the surrounding villages. So many of us have connected with others to help in whatever way we can. Whether it be collecting prescriptions, buying food or sourcing elusive items like hearing aid batteries.

This wine is from the Northern Rhône, south of Lyon but north of Valence, the traditional start of “le Sud”. Saint-Joseph red must be made from Syrah and only Syrah

The 'area' contest is the most important contest of the year and one that we must enter to secure our first section grading. Our placings over a three year period are added together and at the end of the year the two bands with the lowest aggregate figure go up a section. We are pleased that out of a field of 16 bands and playing number 5 we were placed 3rd. An excellent result for us and many thanks to our Musical Director Brendan Caddy and all our players for their hard work.

On 7 June the 1st Kibworth Scouts group enjoyed an evening of mountain biking - although not on mountains it was still great fun. Go to YouTube and watch them cycling around the streets of Kibworth and Smeeton Westerby. Photo and video courtesy of Alam Navsa.

This is a lovely and varied short walk, ideal, on this occasion, for a lively cocker spaniel called Bobby.
