Much like every other Club and Society we will be looking back at 2020 mainly as a year to forget, but as a Running Club we made the best of it with a number of virtual events to keep members active.

Mrs Janet Arthur of Smeeton Westerby was awarded an MBE in the New Years Honours List 2021. 

During our recent AGM we are delighted to confirm the following Captains for next season:

You may have noticed the great increase in birds and wildlife this year. We now spend more time at home tending to and encouraging them into our gardens. Watching and feeding wild birds is a greatly rewarding and enjoyable activity; not least during these unprecedented times where spending time closer to nature can be a great help to our mental well-being. Feeding the wildlife in your garden can bring so much joy. Providing food for the birds in autumn and winter is critical for them as natural food becomes scarce.

The Kibworth Velo Club continues to thrive in these unprecedented times! Until early November we were able to do socially-distanced Group Rides of 6 people; our regular Sunday club runs go to lovely cafes for coffee & cake (or bacon rolls). We also continued our Thursday evening rides; night rides are fun and we enjoy a social catch up at the Clubhouse (Boboli) over a beer and pizza from the lovely Sarah Poli. Since lockdown restarted, we are restricted to riding in pairs - we ride the same routes but 10 mins apart. The weather has been kind but the roads are very wet and muddy meaning our bike cleaning skills have been put to good use!
