Snow was forecast on 8 January, our meeting night. With none falling by 6.30pm our intrepid president, Teresa, set out from Oadby. Other members, braving the cold, began to arrive, just 16 in all. We shelved the business part of the meeting and settled down for the talk.

There will be a special service at St Wilfrid’s Kibworth with communion, hymns, and prayer. During this service, ashes made from palm crosses are blessed and used to make crosses on people’s foreheads to signify the repentance of sin and mortality.

New Year - New Hope

This year, Leicestershire and Rutland Wildlife Trust celebrates seven decades of Nature Recovery across Leicestershire and Rutland, five decades of Rutland Water Nature Reserve, and three decades of Ospreys reintroduced to Rutland. This milestone triple anniversary provides a moment to reflect upon the conservation progress made so far. But also the work still to be done, to ensure the wildlife of our two counties flourishes and remains. Special anniversary events are taking place throughout 2026 and we invite everyone to join the celebrations.

On Sunday 15 February, 10am-4pm, visit Oak Cottage, Swadlincote, DE11 8AG. A half-acre garden set around Blackfordby’s 'hidden' listed 300-year-old thatched cottage. 3.4 acres of paddocks. Front and rear gardens to explore with extensive displays of snowdrops, which includes a named collection as well as hellebores throughout. A large selection of mature Magnolia trees, specimen trees, several ponds, a waterfall and a restored well.

Time never stands still for long with MSTC. Fresh from our successful production of Rhyme and Treason, we are well into rehearsals for our next production, Holiday Snap, by Michael Pertwee and John Chapman. A traditional farce that the British do so well that will certainly provide our audiences with plenty of laughs.
