(4^th January to 28^th February)

Normally for this month's Chronicle I would be writing about our preparations for the Regional Area Brass Band Contest in Bedworth. Unfortunately like so many other events this has been cancelled and as the band room remains closed and the band silent we must wait until next year.

The recent snowfall in late January, brought some beautiful snow scenes around our villages. Gumley was turned into a Winter Wonderland by the deep covering of snow.

Who would ever have believed the restrictions for Covid would have gone on  so long? We started off by sending a quiz out each week to our members. After  a couple of months it got more and more difficult to think up something new,  so now they are few and far between. However we are still in contact and  exchange emails on a regular basis bringing everyone up to date. The latest  topic is, “When are you having your vaccination?” Thankfully these are being  managed very well, and distribution goes from good to better.  

We are pleased to announce that Kibworth Velo Club Merchandise can now be purchased from our own online shop at http://www.kvcshop.co.uk 

All on the committee were saddened not to celebrate Burns Supper recently (the Village Hall’s key fundraising event).

I really hope this article finds you well.

Teachers, teachers leave those kids alone; Pink Floyd's lyrics do not accurately describe the situation as it is now. However, the kids, many kids are being left alone and at home with parents and grandparents who are thrust into the role. This role ever was the introduction of Universal Education by the post war Labour Government and has been passed to professionally trained teachers (the preparation was the work of R.A. Butler, a member of the national wartime government and the resulting1944 Education Act). 

Earlier today I walked into Kibworth to do some shopping. I came across this token in a clear wallet laying on the ground. I was curious and looked closer.
