Just before lockdown the Kibworth Isolation Relief Team was formed to help people who are isolating/vulnerable.

Like so many of us, we remain in a state of flux. We are still committed to bringing The Vicar of Dibley to you at some point in the next year, hopefully around Easter. Of course, this depends very much on government guidance and it is difficult to rehearse, let alone perform, keeping two metres distant.

It seems a long time since we hosted what turned out to be the last Leicestershire Road Running League Event, the Kibworth 6, early in March!

After spending a lot of time and effort on making changes to ensure that our venue meets the Covid-19 requirements, we are pleased to confirm that Kibworth Village Hall has re-opened to regular users.

I attended the very successful Warwick Park activities for most of the day on Sunday 6 September.

Both Kibworth parish councils, along with others across the Harborough District, were given a grant by the District Council to celebrate VE Day this year in May. 

Our last members’ meeting, on 12 March, seems light years away!

Despite all the lockdowns, in one form or other, Kibworth & District U3A has been demonstrating what a U3A can be all about - getting people together and doing interesting stuff.

When we last contributed to the Chronicle the Band were on a high after coming third at the area contest.

John Robert Gilson (Bob) passed away on the 5 August after a relatively short illness. He is survived by his wife Gloria and many friends made at Kibworth Cricket Club.

Kibworth Scouts were recently approached by Kibworth’s Parish Councils to see if they were able to help support the Kibworth Get Active Day held on Sunday 6 of September on the Warwick Road recreation ground.

Kibworth Velo Club continues to grow - we’ve added another eight riders to our club from Kibworth and surrounding villages.
