Tuesday 15 February, at 2pm at Kibworth Grammar School Hall.

Kibworth’s award-winning bookshop will be moving into larger premises in February this year. This will provide the business with over three times as much space. Kibworth Books was launched in December 2009 by Debbie James at 52 High Street in the attractive south Leicestershire village. They now have a team of six working both on the shop floor and behind the scenes. In 2016, the shop doubled in size by taking on a second storey, converting it from an apartment into two more book-lined rooms. Now the whole bookshop will move just metres down the road to ‘The Barn’ at 29 High Street.

Changes to The Highway Code are designed to enhance safety for all road-users – particularly those most at risk – and are set to come into effect from this Saturday, 29 January 2022.

“Life’s too short to wake up with regrets. So, love the people who treat you right, forgive the ones who don’t and believe that everything happens for a reason. If you get a chance, take it. If it changes your life let it. Nobody said it’d be easy, they just promised it would be worth it” – Dr Seuss
