Going Live
Crossing the ‘Tin Bridge' the electrification of the Midland Main Line from Kettering to South Wigston is getting closer to completion. Soon the installation of the sections of the pedestrian bridge will be installed - timetabled to be in March- however new signage has now appeared on the Tin Bridge warning everyone that the wires are now live.

Our December activities began on the 11th when our skittles team played against Loddington WI. The match was held at The Rose and Crown in Thurnby. The skittles alley, which was decorated with greenery, Christmas baubles and lights, looked really festive.

Following the Christmas lull, the Kibworth Community Hub (At the Grammar School Hall) is gearing up for the 2024. We have our usual mix of regular users, Pilates, yoga, dancing and u3a etc. We are also looking forward to Last Minute Theatre’s annual pantomime. This year, it's Dick Whittington which will be performed on 20/21 and 26/27 January with matinee and evening performances.

The membership now stands at 48, making us one of the largest clubs in the county. One third of our members being juniors.
