Hey there! We’re on the hunt for some awesome folks who’d love to work from home. Our mission is to share our articles and photos online, and we’re currently a small team of five. But we’d be thrilled if you could join us, even if it’s just for a few months to cover absences or holidays. If you’re keen, we can give you a friendly guide to using WordPress. Please drop Antony an email at online@kibworthchronicle.com as soon as you can. We’d love to have you on board!

As we head into Autumn, we celebrated the last of the summer with our annual Village BBQ in the field behind Christ Church. With the marquee, tables and chairs, BBQs and music all set up for 5pm, people started to arrive. The music was turned up, the first pint pulled and then the fun began. This is always a most enjoyable village event and this year was no exception. The following weekend was not only a Beer Fest at The Kings Head but also our Driving Treasure Hunt that took the competitors all around the beautiful countryside of The Langtons, ending at our pub where a BBQ was laid on. 'The Farmers Forum' won this year and we were delighted to hand over to them the privilege of organising next year’s hunt!

Ever since we made the decision to rename Kibworth Grammar School Hall as The Kibworth Community Hub, there has been an understandable regret from some people in the village. The argument for doing so has been laid out by myself in Kibworth & District Chronicle before, but I think that it is worth doing so again. Ever since the Hall re-opened as a community centre, there has been confusion between us and the High School/Kibworth Mead Academy; ‘People phone one building wanting the other’, or ‘phone us to tell us that their child can’t come to school today’ are examples. Also, it is important that those people new to the village and, there are a great many of them, know that the building is not a school, but a building that is vibrant, busy and has real relevance to them.

Kibworth Primary School recently hosted an inspirational careers day for all KS1 and KS2 pupils. The day was organised by Mrs Matthew and the MYPATH team. MYPATH are a local business that delivers careers education in a unique and exciting way! The event was a huge success. It provided children with a fabulous day filled with engaging activities and opportunities to learn about the world of work.

Throughout the summer months until the Kibworth and District Chronicle re-appears, Kibworth Methodist Church continues to hold its regular weekly service at 10.30am each Sunday. If you are looking for a new church, or are just visiting the area, why not try us out? You will be made most welcome. But if you find that we are not quite right for you, we will be happy to discuss alternative places of worship in the area.
