Dear Editor,

It is the Market Harborough Group’s 50th Anniversary this year 2021. We were looking forward to a special event. As this is highly unlikely, we thought that supporters may be more comfortable with smaller gatherings.

On Sunday 25^th April, a group of seven Kibworth based South Leicestershire Litter Wombles met up to start clearing some of the historic fly-tipping along Mill Lane.

In April’s Nature Note we looked at the sallow or goat willow. I am sure that if you had a go at identifying the butterfly in one of the pictures, you will have concluded that it was a peacock.

Dear Editor

The Kibworth Theatre Company is your local theatre group and a registered charity. We are a jolly gang of local people, who work hard with the talent we have, to bring great productions to the village. Once lockdown has been lifted finally, we will be working full tilt towards one of our next productions, ‘ The Vicar of Dibley’, which is due for performance next year. We’re also exploring other productions for the Christmas season. Watch this space for more information.

This is a visualisation technique based on the idea that our thoughts, feelings, physical state and behaviours are all connected, so that the deliberate use of the imagination can have a positive effect on how we think, and what we think about, in order to modify the way we feel.

Well known Leicester ballet mistress and choreographer, Miss Marjorie Wise (Marjorie Holyoake) has died peacefully at home in Kibworth, aged 91 years. She was the original principal of the Marjorie Wise School of Dancing. Miss Wise was also choreographer and ballet mistress for many local Operatic Societies, including The Leicester Amateur Operatic Society, KRR Operatic Society and the IDOLS to name a few.

For the last few terms, our Rainbow group has been meeting on Zoom. Fingers crossed, after two more weeks on Zoom we will be finally meeting Face to Face. Rainbows are all about having fun and trying out new things. We play games, do activities, challenges and earn lots of badges. Rainbows is a great place to make lots of new friends and to build your confidence with girls the same age (5-7).

As of Saturday 10 April, SLMG will have completed over 10,000 COVID-19 vaccinations to our patient population. All COVID-19 vaccinations currently take place at Kibworth Medical Centre (KMC) on Smeeton Road. As per NHS England specifications, practices that belong to our Primary Care Network (PCN) also have to provide their Pfizer vaccinations from KMC. This is because the Pfizer vaccine cannot be moved from site-to-site. It is also because the vaccine needs to be utilised within four days from delivery. Therefore, Billesdon Surgery and The Croft Medical Centre in Oadby use KMC on a regular basis to vaccinate their patients.

St Wilfrid's plan to resume services in church from Sunday 9 May. Services will start at 10.30am and numbers will be limited, to maintain social distancing. Your details will be taken for Track & Trace and Covid-safe measures
will be in place. We will, of course, be guided by any changes to government restrictions, so please check our website for updates: www.stwilfridskibworth.co.uk.

I was sorry not to read in the April Chronicle answers to questions posed by the Parish Council at a meeting on 12 December 2020 specially convened to deal with matters raised by the, then, Kibworth School, and also to similar enquiries I had raised in the February and March 2021 Chronicles.

I hope that many readers from the Kibworths will remember the first Get Active Day that the two Kibworth Parish Councils funded at Warwick Park on Sunday 6 September 2020. The success of last year’s inaugural event run by Fiesta Sports Coaching means that it is being repeated this year on Sunday 23 May at Warwick Park, again funded by the two parish councils.
