Over the last few months we have been pleased to recruit some new trustees to Kibworth Grammar School Hall. We would like to welcome Caroline Pitcher who will represent Kibworth Harcourt Parish Council. We would also like to welcome Amanda Bland, representing Kibworth Beauchamp and David Brierley who represents Smeeton Westerby PC. It is a long time since each of the parish councils have been represented at KGSH. We are grateful to the respective councils for their nominations.

Why do companies hide the truth about their activities?

Leicestershire Wildlife Hospital will be holding three events in November and one in December in the Kibworth Village Hall. 15 Station Street LE8 0LN.

It’s been another busy month for our club members. We have had a number of impressive performances over the Half and Full Marathon distance.

It was such a momentous occasion when Illston on the Hill WI met in October for the very first proper WI meeting this year. We decided to keep it low key, so just enjoyed a very sociable evening with a ‘when we were young’ quiz. We all took a photograph of ourselves as a child. I wonder if there was a reason for all the photographs being black and white! One or two of our ladies didn’t seem to have changed much, but as I only got 3 correct (one being myself,) I think we can confirm most of us had altered – for the better of course. We also had a sales table and items were bought and sold at very minimal prices.

The clocks have gone back, the nights are drawing in and the first signs of Christmas are appearing in the shops.

My parents, Len and Edna Bowden, met in London when my mum was 15. Three years later on 28 October 1961, they got married in Hendon and settled into married life in Northamptonshire. My sister Angie and I were born there and then we moved to Kibworth in the mid-seventies. 

The ‘Churches Together’ Christmas card for 2021 has been lovingly created by Sebby Shelton. Sebby, aged nine, is a member of St Wilfrid’s Church, Kibworth. Sebby is a very keen artist and was delighted to be asked to design this year’s card; he also very aptly celebrates his birthday on Christmas Day! 

Kibworth Creatives Choir are now well under way with our rehearsals for our upcoming debut performance in December (details to be confirmed in the next issue!) and are very excited to announce that we will be merging the Crochet and Quavers choir into one big mega choir for all children and teens aged 8-16!
