The Club has begun the new bowling year with our annual visit to Potters Resort, Hopton-on-Sea, where the World Indoor Bowls Championships were taking place. As always, we were really impressed by the bowling skills demonstrated by the players and hope to be as good one day! We thoroughly enjoyed the weekend and were able to partake in a wide range of other activities, including snooker, swimming, quizzes and line dancing. The evening entertainment was first class and the food plentiful.

After Harborough Town’s FA Cup victory vs Tonbridge, Leonard, a Kibworth Primary School pupil, declared that, “I’m going to get a ‘pick in the box’ at school for really good reading.” A ‘pick in the box’ is a box of treats pupils at Leonard’s school are rewarded with  for very good work. Leonard continued, “I’m going to pick a trophy and give it to the Harborough Town keeper at the Reading match, to say well done for doing really well.” True to Leonard’s word, a few days later he returned home with the trophy he’d selected, which he’d earned for very good reading. 

It's been a brilliant year for Fleckney & Kibworth Running Club, with some fantastic achievements at races, great progress from our new members and some really enjoyable social events along the way.
