I wonder whether you have heard of the paper published in 1796 titled 'An Inquiry into the Causes and Effects of Variolae Vaccinae.’ If so, you are likely to be a member of the medical profession or a scientist.

Summer News from Smeeton! With the Chronicle having a well deserved break for July and August, I must offer some dates for your diaries.

We are undertaking a mammoth task of digitalising the entire Kibworth & District Chronicle back catalogue. The Chronicle has published over 400 editions, since it was founded in April 1978.

The Kibworth (and Surrounding area) Photography Group was set up on Facebook book in November 2020. It was initially set up by Andy Marlow with myself then joining him as admin. The group has successfully had their first meeting in June at Foxton Locks. We took a selection of photos of the locks and surrounding environment using a variety of cameras and phones. The session was followed by a sit down chat to get to know one another better and the types of photography we all like. The group is for anyone interested in photography, no fancy cameras needed. Our next meeting is on July 25th at Brocks Hill Country Park where we will be practising some Macro photography. Followed by pet photography in August. We are hoping to announce a venue for indoor meetings shortly. For more information please contact Andy or Beki at kibworth.photography.club@gmail.com.
