Artist Bob Morley has been a regular demonstrator for the Kibworth Art Lovers over a number of years, and never disappoints. He began our February meeting, attended by more than thirty of our members, with a presentation of his work, illustrating a wide range of subjects, media and techniques. Bob talked us through his use of watercolour, acrylics, ink and pastels. Giving us several tips for creating various effects. Clingfilm, salt, fine sponges and even a toothbrush are all part of his kit.

On a very showery grey day, for an hour in the afternoon the sun shone brightly through the stained glass window of Kibworth Methodist Chapel. The chapel was full with about 75 people present on St David’s Day for the World Day of Prayer.

The South Leicestershire Medical Group in conjunction with Easy Stepz (a Health and Wellbeing training provider) will be offering a FREE training course to Community organisations and groups.

It is not unusual for a street to be named after prominent members of the community. For instance, Market Harborough has several of these thoroughfares and one example of this is Logan Street off Coventry Road. 

At Leicestershire’s Home Library Service we believe that everyone should have access to the joys of reading and the incredible services that our libraries offer. However, we know that for many people with health challenges, limited mobility or caring responsibilities, accessing the local library can be difficult.   This is where the Home Library Service steps in – this FREE service offered by Culture To You at Leicestershire County Council ensures that reading remains accessible to everyone. 

Kibworth CE Primary School visit the Space Centre

The Kibworth Art Lovers have been taking a winter break from meetings. But planning has been continuing to ensure an interesting programme of visits from a range of inspiring professional artists. Hopefully, at the same time, our members have been busy painting, sketching and crafting in preparation for our annual exhibition in early June.

Organised by the Climate Coalition, the ‘Great Big Green Week ‘is a celebration by people all over the country.  It’s taking place this year between Saturday 8 June and Sunday 16 June. The Green Street for local organisations and charities, is returning to the Harborough Carnival on Saturday 8 June too.
