Well, the summer break is over and since we last went to press back in June we have had a complete change of Government. Thursday 4 July was certainly a change for many with Members of Parliament losing their seats and many not standing in the General Election. And so it is with The Kibworth & District Chronicle.

It is with great sadness that I am writing to report the recent death of Mrs Beryl Lloyd.  She was the wife of the late John Lloyd and mother to the three of us (Peter, Andrew and the late David). She had lived in Kibworth Harcourt for over 60 years and was one of the founders of the tennis club. She also taught at the village primary school for many years and was well known around the village.  She always loved Kibworth and passed away with many happy memories.

Our recent farm walk at Rectory Farm, located alongside the picturesque Eyebrook Reservoir, had to be relocated to the barn due to inclement weather.  However, this did not dampen our spirits as we were treated to an enlightening power-point presentation about the farm’s operations.

After the Summer Olympic and Paralympics Games in Paris, it seems like an apt time to inform or remind Chronicle readers of a once-resident Olympian, Lisa York. Lisa lived in Kibworth in the 1980s and was a middle and long distance runner who competed for Leicester Coritanians Athletics Club. I’m sure a few Kibworth residents still remember her training around the village. She competed in events including 800, 1500 and 3000 metres, road 5k, the mile and cross country.
