Something for your diary…

A reader has pointed us to the Historic England website which has just released a series of aerial photographs. One of them is the centre of Kibworth taken in 1927. It is probably best viewed on a large screen.

We are pleased to announce this year's Annual Harborough Sportive, organised by Welland Valley Cycling Club is on:

Presents Their Unique

A very successful Couch to 5k program has now been completed. We had a great turnout at the Market Harborough parkrun on a lovely sunny Saturday morning.

KGSH held its AGM on the 16 March. The chairman, Martyn Wyburn reported on a difficult year for the hall, mostly due to the situation with Covid 19. This caused us to close for the first four months of 2021.

Michael Wood will be returning to Kibworth on Wednesday 25 May @ 7pm when he will give a reprise of the Story of England and then take us into In Search of the dark Ages and the connection that Queen Aftheldlard had with Leicester.

At Bridge 67 Butchers we only use the best quality award winning pork from our farm, natural seasonings and natural skins to produce our fabulous tasting sausages which are freshly made each week by our fantastic butchers.

The Leicestershire Summer League matches will be starting after the Easter Holidays for both children and adults. There are four men’s teams, three ladies teams, three mixed teams and five mini/junior teams taking part. The adults are currently having their weekly matchplay sessions and the children have their weekly tennis coaching sessions along with the Team Tennis events to get ready for the new season. Let’s hope it is a successful season for the club!

Many thanks to Sam, staff and customers at The Railway Arms, for the Easter Bingo event. Fun and laughter accompanied Sam calling the numbers for the winning lines and “House!” was shouted out by excited winning participants. The regular customers in for a ‘quiet’ drink on a Friday night also did their part by donating towards the evenings fundraising. Together they raised a fantastic £300. Thank you.

It is with sadness that we say goodbye to our Vice-Chair Sarah Cripps, who is moving away from the village. Sarah has been a very active member of the KVH Committee for over ten years, and has been instrumental in driving forward, and securing grant money for the hall upgrades. She has also been the driving force in re-establishing Burns Night as a staple of the Kibworth Village Hall calendar, re-energizing this event, including arranging the bookings, cooking the food and making sure that the event was a success. The committee will all miss Sarah and thank her for all she has done on our behalf.
