Have you ever heard of the Kibworth & District u3a?

At our meeting in February we commenced a members project. We reviewed and annotated a thousand plus photographs, which were donated to the Society by the late Isobel Cullum’s family. Isobel was the features writer for the Kibworth & District Chronicle for nearly 30 years. She had amassed myriad photos of many people and events over the years.

Kibworth now has its own St John Ambulance Unit. It meets at the Kibworth Methodist Church school room at 8pm on the first, third and fifth Thursdays of each month.

One of the area’s most loved rural events, Blaston Show, returns on Sunday 28 June, promising a fantastic family day out for all while raising money for important local charities.

The monthly public parish council meeting was held on 3 February at 7pm in the Studio at the Kibworth Community Hub.

“Spring in the studio is all about growth, development and momentum”, says Maxine Dodd, Langton artist. “I’m refreshing my website shop, developing my drawings into concertina sketchbooks, while exploring new subjects; the grace of dance and the collective energy of parkrun, which I’ve been drawing most Saturday mornings in Harborough”. Maxine has been busy since Christmas, designing and delivering new workshops for Left to Draw Studios and Gallery, located upstairs at Union Wharf in Harborough, inspired by her love of sport and ballet. Now that spring is here, it’s time to return to her drawing practice, ready for the summer.
