A big change has happened at Kibworth Tennis Club!

Have you ever tried table tennis? If not, what’s the worst that could happen? All are welcome to come and have a go free of charge at this low cost sport. I see youngsters shivering on the football field these evenings. I'm glad that I play an indoor sport which I can enjoy all year round, flooding permitting!

Our annual Greenkeepers Shield competition took place on 13 September.
