Dear Editor

My name is Deena Sumpter and I am sending emails to all schools within our area in the hope that within each class a discussion could take place to highlight an issue that seems to be happening more and more regularly in and around our village park areas.

We have two large wooden framed vegetable beds in our garden in Glooston which we either never get round to planting out or have failed in what we have tried to grow (apart from runner beans). If any keen gardener is interested in using them as their own allotment, free of charge, please call us on 01858 545700.

The Kibworth School joining The Mead Educational Trust: An Update.

Dear Editor,

Dear Editor,

♦ How we Kibworth Chronicle readers  can help save our beautiful planet.

How useful has this new footpath been on Warwick Park?  Since the first lockdown it has been used, no doubt, countless times when folks have been taking their daily exercise. When the rains came in the autumn it was used in preference to the muddy recreation ground.  It’s a path that leads to the newly installed Multi Use Games Area (MUGA). And now with the arrival of snow it is one of the safer routes for getting around our village.

Dear Editor,

I was so thrilled to see the Kibworth Hug Token featured in the Chronicle!
It was an idea I had to spread a bit of joy and magic at a time when we simply can’t even hug one another.

Earlier today I walked into Kibworth to do some shopping. I came across this token in a clear wallet laying on the ground. I was curious and looked closer.

Carol number five ‘A virgin most gentle’ in this year’s Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols, broadcast worldwide annually on Radio 4 and BBC World Service from the candlelit Chapel of Kings College, Cambridge 3pm Christmas Eve, is of local interest, having been composed by Andrew Carter, a past pupil of Kibworth Beauchamp Grammar School.

This last week (beginning 6 December) whilst many lands celebrated St Nicholas’ Day on the Sunday, some Beauchamp residents may have missed a local anniversary - the installation of the yellow speed restriction signs, now looking so bent, battered and bruised, twenty weeks ago during the fourth week of July.

I would like to say an enormous Thank You to all those who have contributed to my Just Giving fund to provide toys for children from families who are struggling this Christmas.
