Qigong: Hard to Describe, Enjoyable to Experience !

Fleckney Spinner Table Tennis Club has weekly sessions on Saturday mornings, 11.15am- 12.45pm and coaching every other Tuesday 5.00pm-6.40pm from Level 2 coach, Andy Wright, assisted by a Level 1 coach.

The Harborough Singers Christmas Concert with celebrity guest Jemma Redgrave is heading for a sell-out.

Wood Wide Web This is not a typing/laptop mistake, it is taken from a book that I was recommended to read. It is written by the colourfully named Merlin Sheldrake and entitled 'Entangled Life.' All praised by, no less authorities than, Robert Macfarlane and Helen MacDonald. For a biologist or better still a botanist this book would give 'insider' knowledge of an important, possibly familiar, and revelatory nature but as a non-biologist or botanist. I found reading the book like walking in the dark through unfamiliar land. I came out of it better informed, it was a worthwhile read! I learned that mushrooms are the fruit of the fungi and the truffle is the most precious!

The parish council monthly public meeting on 22 November was held in the Studio at the Kibworth Grammar School Hall.

Following on from the success of our concert in October, we were very excited to hand over £1,000 to each of our chosen charities for the event – COPS (Care of Police Survivors) and GEMS. Both Peter Fahy and Tim Buckley from COPS were absolutely  made up and chuffed to bits! Amazing – you put the fun into fundraising!”

Advent Window decorating is yet again taking place in Mowsley to celebrate and enjoy the arrival of Christmas and the birth of Jesus Christ.
