I was asked by Amberley Publishing to write this book before we heard about Covid-19. 

Dear Editor

 As lockdown restrictions ease, we’ll be organising our famous club rides from 29th March. As a social cycling club we'll be adhering to the 'rule of six' (British Cycling-affiliated clubs can do groups of 15) and Government guidelines - watch on our Facebook page for dates and times of rides. We're looking forward to getting back together again!

A poll will be held on Thursday 6 May 2021 between 7am and 10pm

After nearly three months of being in lockdown, Kibworth Tennis Club is open again.Tennis was able to start again on 29 March. A lot has been happening since the restart.

Whether it’s 50p or £50 please help local charities who have struggled during the pandemic. If you don’t wish to take part in a challenge, you can still donate. We have had a great response to the Sunflower challenge but we still have plenty of seeds if you wish to take part.

This year our President is The Rev Alan Pyke, his nominated Charity is Admiral Nurses.The charity works alongside people with dementia, and their families, giving one-to-one support and expert guidance. Here at the Bowling Club we hope to raise enough money to enable an Admiral Nurse to operate in the Kibworth/Harborough area.

Alan Crooks overcame the common postman hazard of aggressive dogs on his round, by befriending all of them. When he delivered mail or packages, he had dog biscuits in his pocket. Consequently dogs greeted him with a grin not a growl!

We have experienced all types of weather during  the past month including rain, snow and  sunshine. A north wind has dominated the air flow keeping temperatures below normal for this time of year. Walking across arable fields,  I have been surprised at how dry the ground is; already large cracks are visible everywhere. Despite this, Nature has followed its normal  sequence and readers walking up Church Road will have enjoyed the daffodils on the bank     below the church. The sound of children playing  in the parks during the Easter holiday is another sign that spring has arrived. Today I have  watched birds collecting material for building  nests. 

Rosie was born in Keyham but spent most of her childhood living in Oadby where she went to Leicester High School.  She studied Sports Science at Loughborough University.  In her twenties, she lived in the South of France for a short time and then moved to London where she worked as a PE teacher in a Prep School in Chiswick.  Now married with 3 children, she moved to Kibworth shortly before their first child started school in 2012.

Hello again. Thanks for taking the time to read article number two from Kibworth Fire Station.  It’s been a fairly quiet month for the station,  however within the last week we have attended  a domestic fire, a road traffic collision (Car vs  Motorbike) and a van that ignited after collid ing with a canal bridge wall.
