We have lived in Kibworth for more than 50 years and whilst decluttering recently for an upcoming house move, I came across a programme for the Kibworth & Smeeton Show 1975 - 50 years ago, even before The Kibworth Chronicle!

On Friday 15 September, Kibworth and Fleckney Rotary Club held their annual Charity Golf Day at Kibworth Golf Club. At one o’clock the 18, 4-ball teams teed off simultaneously, a shot gun start, from all 18 tees. We were lucky with the weather and, after a fun round of golf, the teams all congregated back at the clubhouse for a buffet meal.

Rehearsals for our Christmas Show, ‘Rhyme and Treason,’ are continuing apace. Lines are learnt (almost) costumes are being fitted and props are being bought.  The next stage will be building the set.  

Kibworth Joint Recreation Committee are to be congratulated. They have further enhanced all our recreation areas - be they small or large - with the installation of display panels explaining the history of each area.

The Kibworth Art Lovers’ Society provides the opportunity for local artists from beginners to the more experienced, and for those who appreciate art, to attend monthly demonstrations and presentations by professional artists.

The Kibworth Art Lovers’ Society started its 2025/26 season last month with a demonstration of watercolour painting by Andrew Geeson, one of our most popular visiting artists.

At Kibworth Community Library we were saddened to hear of the death of Joyce, one of our lovely volunteers.

Bailey’s Barn, a charming rural escape, offers a world of style, comfort, and interior statement pieces. It’s a destination for those seeking beautiful furniture and soft furnishings that transform a house into a home.

Fleckney Table Tennis Club is settling into its temporary home at the main hall of Kibworth Mead Academy. We were gratified to see that the team which beat us in the semi-final of the Elbow Tankard went on to win the top prize. We wish all our junior and senior League players good luck for the coming season.
