As autumn and winter approach are you looking for new pastimes and ways to meet people? Perhaps you remember country dancing at school, or enjoyed a Barn Dance/Ceilidh and would like to try other English dances?

During the summer holidays tennis sessions took place at the club for children aged from three to seventeen. It was a great opportunity for some children to try tennis for the first time and for other children to continue playing during the summer holidays. Over 150 children attended the sessions so it was a busy time for Mati and his coaching team!

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.

Will be holding a Pop up Charity Shop at the hospital, at the of rear of Bird's Barn, Fleckney Road Kibworth LE8 0HJ.

Since the last report, the parish council held its annual parish walkabout on 7 July and its monthly public meeting on 4 August in the Studio at the Kibworth Grammar School Hall.

The ancient Judith Stone landmark, Leicester University’s giant carbon footprint game; The Harborough River Pickers; A photographic exhibition; Eco food and dishes; Cycling events; Walks; Park runs; Composting; Apple pressing; Free craft session; A food summit; Book displays... and more? 

Will be holding a coffee morning and table top sale on Saturday 8 October in Kibworth Village Hall LE8 0LN. 10am - 12.45pm

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!
