Thank you for the series on our district churches. We were particularly pleased to see the articles regarding Kings Norton and Gaulby. But saddened to read the anonymous letter regarding church visiting which particularly mentioned access at Kings Norton. 

Our members have just returned from a weekend away at Potters Resort, Hopton-on-Sea. The venue for the World Indoor Bowls Championships. We greatly enjoyed being spectators at the bowls matches. We were also able to partake in many other activities including snooker, golf, quizzes, line dancing and even Morris dancing. The evening entertainment was first class and the food (too) plentiful! I put on 4lb over the 3 days!

Mothers' Union met on 5 January at St Wilfrid’s, to share fellowship, support one another in friendship and develop our faith. The talk this month was on Modern-Day slavery

It has been noted that Joseph Davies Barbering, Ltd formerly of Harcourt Estate has relocated to the ‘waiting room and ticket office’, of Kibworth’s The Old Railway Station, 15 Isabel Lane.

First question here is who was St Wilfrid? Wikipedia tells us Wilfrid (c 633 – 709 or 710) was an English bishop and saint. Born a Northumbrian noble, he entered religious life as a teenager and studied at Lindisfarne, at Canterbury, in Francia, and at Rome; he returned to Northumbria in about 660, and became the abbot of a newly founded monastery at Ripon.
