Dear Editor,

It seems like an age since our last article, when I said that rehearsals for The Vicar of Dibley were going well and we were on track for a June production! 

The Kibworth School have an exciting opportunity for an enthusiastic candidate to join our friendly team.

The first cohort of a new course, to train dog owners to Canicross in Kibworth, with their four legged friends, graduated this week, and they are now taking to tracks and fields to practice their new learned skills.

Like most societies, councils, community forums and groups of friends, The Kibworth & District Chronicle Management Committee has been holding its meetings online. Zoom, Google and Microsoft have really been helping with communication though most of us would really like to go back to face to face I suspect.

I am pleased to present my County Councillor for Gartree - July 2020 report, and as ever, my email address is included below should you have any questions, or feedback on what you have read.

At the bottom of Tin Bridge lies the Kibworth Covid 19 snake. His snakeskin is more colourful than that of natural snakes because he consists of hundreds of hand painted stones.
