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.

Kevin Messenger, John Allen, Scott Pilkington and Neil Hammond have completed numerous challenges for charity in the past. This year their new found love of golf sees them doing it again! They are going to play 72 holes in one day at Kibworth Golf Club on Friday 2 July to raise money for Prostate Cancer.

On Sunday 25^th April, a group of seven Kibworth based South Leicestershire Litter Wombles met up to start clearing some of the historic fly-tipping along Mill Lane.

The Kibworth Theatre Company is your local theatre group and a registered charity. We are a jolly gang of local people, who work hard with the talent we have, to bring great productions to the village. Once lockdown has been lifted finally, we will be working full tilt towards one of our next productions, ‘ The Vicar of Dibley’, which is due for performance next year. We’re also exploring other productions for the Christmas season. Watch this space for more information.

For the last few terms, our Rainbow group has been meeting on Zoom. Fingers crossed, after two more weeks on Zoom we will be finally meeting Face to Face. Rainbows are all about having fun and trying out new things. We play games, do activities, challenges and earn lots of badges. Rainbows is a great place to make lots of new friends and to build your confidence with girls the same age (5-7).
