The final months of President Judy’s year have been “different” with meetings taking place on Zoom and a very active WhatsApp group. Hopefully keeping members in touch and smiling throughout the lockdown.

Under normal circumstances at this time of year we would have been preparing for our Annual Exhibition. In view of the Covid-19 pandemic, it was decided reluctantly to cancel this year’s show. However, it will give members time to prepare more artworks for display when we hold our next exhibition. In the meantime, the painting by Pat Porteous from a previous exhibition will surely whet our appetites for the future.

Last Minute Theatre are determined to stage their next Pantomime in January 2021 -though, due to Coronavirus, there will be some small (tongue in cheek) adjustments as follows:

I am not sure how many of you are aware, but the Main Street Theatre Company of Great Glen started its life, (approximately 46 years ago!) as The Kibworth Drama Group based in the new drama studio of the then Kibworth High School. Recently on Facebook, Heather Wilson, one of our members, has been posting lots of old photos and programmes of shows that the group performed all those years ago. It has been fascinating to see them again and to relive so many great times.

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.
