KIT are pleased to announce that we are having a new website designed for launch in early 2012.
The current website was built by the KIT team with the support of the local businesses on the back of the success of the Story of England series in September 2010 and has received over 55,000 page views.
 
The new site will be a modern design which will be able to be easily maintained by a nominated group with news, articles and features on our villages.
It will include the new trails, new graphics and some new interactive features.
There are also plans for a 'online museum' for the site and hopefully more historical information.

It is important that the website becomes a community project and we fully intend to enable this once the site is up and running.

If you have any ideas for the new site why not contact us via our email address below;

The announcement on 8th November that the Olympic Torch route will pass along the A6 through Kibworth on 2 July 2012 is fantastic news. KiT is already registered with London 2012 as a Local Leader, and this will be a great opportunity to celebrate this local part of the Olympics in true Kibworth style.
  Although exact timings are not yet available, Kibworth is the final named community before the torch enters Oadby and the Leicester conurbation for the night, so we expect it to pass through in the afternoon after leaving Foxton.
  KiT is keen to help ensure that this occasion, and the others taking place next summer, are well supported, and that events are organised and publicised to help make the Jubilee and Olympic Games local. KiT is planning a Diamond Jubilee Street Party on Church Road for Sunday 3rd June (see above for more details).
  Since its inception last autumn, KiT has demonstrated excellent coordination and organisational skills to ensure events are well planned and well publicised. Next summer's events are an opportunity to show the nation, once more, that Kibworth takes its place in history seriously.
  We intend setting aside the first part of each fortnightly KiT meeting to discuss and help co-ordinate the historic events taking place next summer. KiT is already working with the Parish Councils to help publicise Diamond Jubilee events.
  We would like to invite any individual, or organisation's representative, who wants to help, along to our regular meetings to be creative, and plan a great, community Summer 2012 programme. If you have an idea or are planning your own event, please come along and help. We are also planning a web page and calendar for people to enter their event, and see all that is going on in Kibworth next year.
  KiT is always pleased to see new volunteers who want to be involved in any aspect. KiT meetings are held fortnightly on Mondays at 8pm in the Coach & Horses. If you are interested please telephone 0116 279 2247 or email: info@kibworthvillage.co.uk, or receive updates on Twitter @KibworthKiT.
