Mimo Moutinho Dao Encruzado 2021 (Aldi £7.49)

On Sunday 18 December Kilby neighbours and friends met for Christmas drinks at the home of Iain and Denise Bell. This annual event, now in its tenth year, was a ‘thank you’ to everyone who has supported ‘Get to Know your Neighbours’ in the past year.

The Warm Welcome initiative was set up to support organisations to open their doors and provide a warm welcome for those struggling to heat their homes this winter.

With the deadline for applying for a state school place for Reception recently passing, we know that School choices are fresh in lots of parents' minds.

It’s been a steady December with runners taking part in winter races as well attending club runs – including a Christmas lights tour of Leicester city!

The Great Glen Gardening Club will next meet on Thursday 2 February, at 2.30pm in Great Glen Methodist Chapel Hall.

Since the Kibworth Tip closed in November 2021, contractors Willmott Dixon, working on behalf of LCC, have been busy redeveloping the site and transforming it into the new facility that we will soon be able to use. Back in June they reached out to share with us what they were doing, inviting the cubs and scouts to the site to take a look at what was going on and learn about construction methods and waste recycling plans.

Happy New year from all of us at Kibworth Ladies’ Choir!

This year 2023, there is a Diamond Jubilee celebration-in June (early notification!) What is the reason? It is the 75th anniversary of the first arrival of the Windrush generation from the West Indies; so named because the first newcomers travelled to the United Kingdom by sea aboard HMT (His Majesty's Transport) Windrush; they were invited to come and settle, by the then Labour government, for there were many employment vacancies. The year was 1948; they continued to come under this government scheme until 1951. To meet the requirements of the post war recovery, particularly, the needs of the newly created NHS adults and children travelled on one passport. The Second World War in Europe had only ended in May 1945.
