Reading in recent ‘Kibworth & District Chronicles’ the most inspiring lives of Amy Simkin, Andrew Carter, (January p.6 November p.8), I cannot but hope future generations will be informed so as to celebrate the near 700 years of KBGS which contributed to countless pupils’ formative years, and thus, if I may, this reminder of my proposals re the future of Grammar School Hall/Community Hub as in January’s Letters page.

Since the last Kibworth & District Chronicle, the first published story of Winnie the Pooh celebrated its centenary, (appearing in the London ‘Evening News’ on Christmas Eve 1925),which prompted my thinking how it might have read if it had appeared in the Kibworth Chronicle Christmas Eve 2025:

With reference to Larry Dolan’s December article entitled ‘Inequality in a Just World’, I am not entirely sure what Larry Dolan is advocating, but if my interpretation is correct, he is proposing that the government should deploy specific policies within a Modern Monetary Theory (MMT) framework to distribute wealth and create a fairer society. 

A new barbershop has opened on the Square, previously occupied by the small opticians shop for several years.

It truly puzzles me that oil and gas company executives deny that their products are causing serious harm to our planet, spending huge amounts of money to confuse people. Don’t they care about their children and grandchildren’s future? See www.greenpeace.org.uk/news/should-we-blame-oil-companies-for-the-climate-crisis/  It’s not being suggested that we stop using it, but that there is enough being produced while we increase renewable energy supplies.

We have lived in Kibworth for more than 50 years and whilst decluttering recently for an upcoming house move, I came across a programme for the Kibworth & Smeeton Show 1975 - 50 years ago, even before The Kibworth Chronicle!
