No stranger to long-distance fell running, Sam Pole has undertaken his biggest challenge yet, tackling the 268 miles of the Pennine Way.

 In common with most organisations, we have no meetings and fewer activities to write about, so we thought we would share some of the humour contained in our WI’s Yearbook record of life during the pandemic.

 Due to COVID-19 restrictions, all of the major board honours and regular annual trophy competitions at the club were cancelled for the year.

It may not be known to many but The Kibworth Theatre Group were busy working behind the scenes to bring us their version of ‘The Vicar of Dibley’ earlier this year.

The Mini/Junior Team Tennis Events started in October 2019 and finished at the end of August.

The Grammar School Hall re-opened for business on 1 September.

Like so many of us, we remain in a state of flux. We are still committed to bringing The Vicar of Dibley to you at some point in the next year, hopefully around Easter. Of course, this depends very much on government guidance and it is difficult to rehearse, let alone perform, keeping two metres distant.

It seems a long time since we hosted what turned out to be the last Leicestershire Road Running League Event, the Kibworth 6, early in March!

Our last members’ meeting, on 12 March, seems light years away!

Despite all the lockdowns, in one form or other, Kibworth & District U3A has been demonstrating what a U3A can be all about - getting people together and doing interesting stuff.
