It’s been another fruitful month for the club with three new members joining us (thank you, Kibworth Chronicle.) Club members continue to enjoy the club nights as well as regular open sessions on Thursday mornings from 9.30-11am at Fleckney Sports Centre (18 years and over).

The parish council does not hold a public meeting in December as the fourth Tuesday falls within the Christmas period. However, the parish council staff, councillors and volunteers have been very active since November on parish council funded business.

Many of us want to do our bit to help tackle the climate crisis.  However the scale of the task can seem daunting. Fortunately lots of people making small changes in their everyday lives can have a cumulative impact.

We amalgamated this with our Christmas party. As a change and because it was a special occasion, we ‘bought in’ our supper from a company in Market Harborough.

Market Harborough’s very own orchestra, is preparing to give its 22^nd concert under the baton of Stephen Bell on Saturday 29 January at 7.30pm at the Methodist Church, Northampton Road, Market Harborough.

We come together.

Kibworth Books has raised more than £2000. This is all in order to gift new books to children who are being cared for on the wards at the Leicester Royal Infirmary over the Christmas period. The award-winning bookshop’s mission, initially, was to raise enough money via donations to gift a book to every child in the 130 beds on the wards.

Kibworth Village Hall Latest News. The Village Hall Committee was proud to open the Hall for the late night shopping event. We would like to thank all of the fantastic stallholders that came to support the event.

My enquiry is about the traditional wrestling tournaments, which, in the first half of 19th century, were usually held at Cross Bank in Kibworth. This was during the ‘Statute Fair’ in October after the harvest. Matches were contested on the erected wooden stage. Participants were locals and included men from the neighbouring villages. The tournament was discontinued after the late 1850s because they thought it was a 'barbarian' custom.

After an indifferent summer, September, October and November (to date) have been exceptionally mild and dry, resulting in a welcome extension of the usual visitor season. A lot of boaters use this time to get where they want to be for the winter and Foxton, with its handy services, is a popular spot. Canal & River Trust have some official winter moorings from November to March.
