Alex Leger will delight us with his tales of producing the BBC’s Blue Peter programme with Peter Purves, Lesley Judd and John Noakes. He describes encounters with an erupting volcano, climbing windmills, gorillas in Uganda, a life-threatening storm at sea and LuLu the baby elephant who ran amok and created, arguably, the funniest moment in Blue Peter history.

To celebrate LMT’s Silver Anniversary, our September production will be a ‘Grand Variety Show’ (working title!). There will be a Pick and Mix of the best bits from the year 2000.

The recent drop-in session run by the planning department of Harborough District Council held in the new library space of Kibworth Community Hub was reasonably well attended.  There were maps of the proposed areas suggested for development in the plan which is for the years to 2041. Also a number of officals were in attendance to answer questions where they could.

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. With the assistance of mill volunteers, they sifted the soil looking for items of historical interest. Although the finds were nearly all modern and comprised pottery, brick/tile and animal bone. 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). 

Leicestershire Wildlife Hospital will be holding a table top sale. It is on Saturday 10 May in Kibworth Village Hall, LE8 0LN, from 10am until 12:45pm.
