As nature is seasonal, the Chronicle summer recess means that some aspects of the natural year don’t get much coverage. In birds, feather care and moult occurs throughout the year but late summer is a peak period of activity.

Cheese & Wine Evening and talk on GUMLEY HALL by Deborah Seabrook on Friday 19 September at 7pm in St Helen’s Church, Gumley.

As summer winds down and routines fall back into place, it’s the perfect time to hit reset and start investing in the most important project of all: you.

In July and August of this season, the Illston Abey Cricket Club hosted a South Asian local community Twenty20 Cup tournament. England coach and Leicestershire star Tim Boon, as well as ECB representative, Shilly Pancholi, attended the final to present the Super Trophy to the Kandy Kings Cricket Club on a glorious summer’s day.

The Rotary Club of Kibworth & Fleckney has agreed to support the recently formed Ukrainian Rotary Impact Club of Rutland. Their inaugural project has been launched in support of those in need of medical equipment in Ukraine. The club was founded by a group of fifteen very enthusiastic and inspiring people fleeing war, all with different backgrounds and from different cities in Ukraine.

KAS were very happy to welcome some volunteers, for a second year, from Gateley RJA in Kibworth to help with projects around our site.

The next month is going to be full of change for all of us here at Kibworth Community Library and, by default, for all of our customers. We are moving into our new home at the Kibworth Community Hub at the beginning of October!

Our group continues to meet every third Wednesday of the each month, at Kibworth Cricket Club, from 7.30pm. We have had some lovely sessions over the last few months, from education on nutrition to bringing out our competitive side in table top skittles. Last month we held an ‘evening tea’ and raffle. We had some wonderful cakes and prizes, all kindly donated by members and businesses in the community. The money from the evening was a marvellous £345 which is on its way to LOROS hospice.
