Just what does go on at the WI Meetings?


recently I was wandering around the village and heard a commotion coming from the Hall. I feared hooligans again but it turned out to be some well turned out ladies gathering at the hall. I could not ascertain what it was all about and was politely advised to wander about somewhere else as the WI had a meeting in the hall.

later I found this photo lying about and it got me thinking about the context. What do they get up to?

What does go on at the WI meetings?


Recently there was a lot of noise heard coming from the Village Hall. On investigation it transpired the WI were having some sort of meeting. A further explanation was not forthcoming but the following photograph has leaked. Purporting to have been taken at the meeting one can only wonder at the context.

Wing contributes to the Rutland Food Bank


This just some of what the generous people of Wing have contributed so far to the Rutland Food Bank. The Food Bank has lots of food so Judith Oakley, who is organizing the collection, has asked for toiletries.food-bank

She will be collecting until the end of January so this would be an ideal way to get rid of the soap that Aunt Agetha gave you for Christmas – again!

Thank you Wing!

“Lloyds Bank” fraud


All bank customers should be on the lookout for a new sophisticated fraud that involves fraudsters sending fake bank letters. 

The convincing letters being sent are a replica template from Lloyds, but any bank could be targeted, and include their logo, address and signature from a customer service representative.
The letter tells recipients that there have been some “unusual transactions” on their personal account and asks them to call a number highlighted in bold to confirm they are genuine.
When victims call the number, an automated welcome message is played and the caller is asked to enter their card number, account number and sort code followed by their date of birth.Victims are then instructed to enter the first and last digit of their security number.
The fraud was spotted by the Daily Telegraph who was alerted to it by a reader who had three identical letters sent to an office address. On separate occasions the Daily Telegraph ran some tests using fake details and were passed to fraudsters who claimed to be from a Lloyds contact centre. The bank has confirmed that the phone number and letters are fake.
The letters are essentially a sophisticated phishing attempt and serves as a warning to consumers to question written correspondence from their banks.

If you are ever suspicious about correspondence from your bank you should call the customer serviced number on the back of their card.
