Dear Editor

The golf course has been extremely busy since reopening, with members keen to resume play. There has certainly been a few oooooos and ahhhhhs on the first tee whether from aching limbs or stray tee shots! The first few competitions are  scheduled to take place very soon and are well subscribed.

When people think about acupuncture, one of the main images that comes to mind is needles. But there’s a lot more to acupuncture than just needles! Other treatments including massage, cupping, guasha, herbal medicine and moxibustion also offered by acupuncturists. This is either alongside or instead of traditional acupuncture, and some treatments don’t use needles at all to stimulate points.

The government has decided not to extend the legislation that has permitted virtual council meetings after 6 May; in our case using Zoom.  Our annual meeting to elect the chairman, vice-chairman and representatives would normally be held on 25 May. However we have movewd this meeting to Tuesday 4 May. This is because of the uncertainty about holding face to face public meetings in a safe environment.  The agenda and Zoom joining instructions will be published on our website and the notice board on High Street.

The latest Zoom meeting was on 1 April, we welcomed DCllr Whelband, and Jane Tallett, who was approved for co-option.

Both experts in their own fields, Jayne within Estate Agency, Chris with in Mortgages. It was an obvious decision to join both of their experiences to form Kibworth Properties.

Fraud Recovery Fraud is when criminals contact victims purporting to be from their bank, a law enforcement agency, solicitors or “specialist recovery” firm. They will already have some knowledge of the victim’s case and will claim to be able to help the victim get their money back, or some amount of compensation, for a fee. This is often because it is the same criminal targeting the victim again, or the victim’s details have been sold on the dark web to other fraudsters.
