If you happen to be in The Grammar School Hall and hear lots of laughter, it will be us rehearsing ‘Allo, Allo’. Things are now really moving on apace with sound, lighting and set starting to take shape. Director Kevin Gilbert said that he is really pleased with how things are going.

There are four men’s teams, three ladies teams, three mixed teams and five mini/junior teams taking part.

Many thanks to Sam, staff and customers at The Railway Arms, for the Easter Bingo event. Fun and laughter accompanied Sam calling the numbers for the winning lines and “House!” was shouted out by excited winning participants. The regular customers in for a ‘quiet’ drink on a Friday night also did their part by donating towards the evenings fundraising. Together they raised a fantastic £300. Thank you.

It is with sadness that we say goodbye to our Vice-Chair Sarah Cripps, who is moving away from the village. Sarah has been a very active member of the KVH Committee for over ten years, and has been instrumental in driving forward, and securing grant money for the hall upgrades. She has also been the driving force in re-establishing Burns Night as a staple of the Kibworth Village Hall calendar, re-energizing this event, including arranging the bookings, cooking the food and making sure that the event was a success. The committee will all miss Sarah and thank her for all she has done on our behalf.
