Presents

Since the last Kibworth & District Chronicle landed on our doorsteps we’ve made some fantastic progress with our new land by the railway line. 

The Picnic in the Park was enjoyed enormously by all who attended. The bouncy slide was enjoyed by young and old and despite it being a little chilly, at least it didn’t rain this year. The candyfloss stall was kept very busy and children’s races, dog agility and the Tug of War were great fun.

Although the weather finally picked up for the start of the school holidays, there have still not been very many boats through. The situation is similar elsewhere, and some hire companies have half their fleets tied up, which is highly unusual, and a worry. Visitors come to the canals to see boats, and boater spend is important to the local economy.

Billesdon Drama Society’s next production at The Coplow Centre, Billesdon is Neighbourhood Watch by Alan Ayckbourn, a hilarious and thought provoking comedy

A fresh and exciting night of live jazz comes to Smeeton Westerby!

Hello, I’m David Walker-Smith, Trustee at the Kibworth Community Hub. Many of you will know Pat Porteous from Kibworth Art Lovers. Pat recently showed me programmes from the incredible Festivals that Kibworth used to hold, the Festival of Angels and a wonderful concert of Jesus Christ Superstar in St.Wilfrid’s church.

After a refreshing break of the summer holidays, LMT is now in the throes of starting rehearsals for our 2025 Pantomime. Not that things have stopped happening during the last few months, of course, as planning, script rewrites, costumes, scenery, casting, etc. etc. are quietly going on unnoticed by many but carried out diligently by the few!
