Although we often have invited speakers to present talks on specific topics, our most recent MU meeting in the church hall on Thursday 1 September followed our usual church service. However, on this particular occasion over a cup of tea and biscuits, we had a wonderful time of spontaneous fellowship and heartfelt sharing of experiences, with the opportunity to recall some important memories from events in our lives.

So, as we wave goodbye to summer, we’re starting to glimpse the early signs of autumn.  We hope you all had a lovely summer.  It was certainly hot and sunny at times, in fact, too hot and sunny!

The 2022 summer outdoor bowling season has been a successful one. Successes included winning the Wistow Vase - our annual local derby competition against Hart of Fleckney Bowls Club, and the Springer Cup where we beat Little Bowden in the final. We also won Division 3 of the South Leicestershire Triples League and have been promoted to Division 2 for the start of next year.

Norton & Gaulby Young Farmers Club are celebrating its 80th anniversary this year. We are hosting a Black Tie Dinner at The Kube, Leicester Racecourse on Saturday 8 October, 6:30 for 7pm. Tickets are £45 per person.

Without question we live in a beautiful part of the world surrounded by countryside and are fortunate enough to have some very thoughtful famers on our doorstep. The Chronicle has asked a local farmer what tasks they have been doing over the last month while the sun shone. This report is from Jill Vickers at Bridge 67 and we thank her for this list. The bullet points are because farmers are busy and they don’t get bank holidays off! As you move around one can only hope that part of our food security is in safe hands.

We are so excited to announce the details of our 10th Anniversary concerton on Saturday 29 October. The venue will be the Church of St James the Greater, London Road, Leicester (opposite Victoria Park)

Looking back at June, we enjoyed an excellent, well-prepared talk about ‘The Life of Marilyn Monroe’ by Julie Kinnear. Affected by her unfortunate early life, Marilyn was constantly trying to improve herself. She never felt that she was beautiful, or particularly good enough. Paradoxically, when working as a model, and later in the film industry, she was constantly exploited for her looks.
