During a recent Wednesday walkabout, my brother and I were fascinated to notice colourful umbrellas in the outdoor seating enclosure of the Coach and Horses - yes Kibworth’s 18^th Century Coaching Inn is back in business.

Almost the last large plot of land within Kibworth village centre might become a building site after all.

In March we had our AGM which was well attended. Martyn Wyburn reported on the current state of the Community Hub. The completion of the new library extension being the highlight of the year. There were no new candidates to join the Trustees. Martyn was re-elected as chair, with Lynn Williams voted in as vice-chair, Mandi Bland as treasurer. Andrew Dawes and Janet Dowling were also re-elected as trustees. Unfortunately, one position that has not been filled is that of secretary. If anyone would like to put themselves forward, we would be pleased to look at co-opting you. The duties are not particularly onerous. If anyone would like to discuss this with me, I can be contacted on Tel:07914254965.

Roll up, roll up, it’s time to reserve your tickets for An Evening of Supper and Fun Entertainment on Friday 2 May. We present for you our Village Variety Show starring our very own Smeetarians! Firstly, we will be serving a delicious supper and then the frivolity will begin. We have songs, sketches and funny pieces of prose and poetry for your enjoyment. Please ring Philippa on 01162793841 or message her on 07748878027 to book your place– adults £15 and children £10. Of course, as usual we ask that you bring your own drinks and glasses. We are sure it will be a most enjoyable evening.

Pick-up and drop-off times are busy outside schools. This can cause an increased safety risk to both children and parents.

As part of our ongoing series introducing Kibworth’s On-Call crew, we spotlight another team member, Firefighter Cameron Cavan. Read Cam’s insights on his experience and what inspired him to join the crew.

Please see above a picture of the structure myself (Claire Coppin at the time), James Stanbridge and Charlotte Stanbridge constructed to display in our field at Beauchamp Grange Farm to thank the NHS and put a smile on people’s faces which at the time we were told did just that :-)

It may be worthwhile to consider adopting this idea in Kibworth.
