We are delighted to announce that we are now well into rehearsals for our next show which is to be one of our infamous Murder Mystery Supper Nights. This intriguing tale of mayhem and mystery is entitled ‘Murder in The Mailbox’ and is to be performed by the group in Smeeton Westerby Village Hall on Friday 13 June or Saturday 14 June at 7 for 7.30pm.

On the weekend of 15/16 March volunteers from the Hallaton Fieldwork Group spent many hours digging exploratory pits in the ground around Kibworth mill.

They used a metal detector on the trenches and spoil. This produced many nails, modern coins and metal fittings (some clearly from parts of the windmill).

Here is a photograph of the new entrance to Kibworth Community Hub, which is making life very much easier for our users. We are sure that readers will agree that the new entrance is a big improvement and, when we have our signage put up, we will no longer have people standing in the carpark asking where is the Community Hub/Grammar School Hall?
