The Editor of this website plans to retire in 2022, due to ill health, and unless someone takes over it will cease.

Due to the numbers of villagers, over 250, that use Nextdoor it is possible for Nextdoor, a free commercial service, to take over the role, but Nextdoor is funded by ads and is restricted to south Rutland.

Anyone that wants to take over this community website can contact the current editor john@wingonline.com

This website wingrutland.uk has provided a service to the village for over 10 years and has the history of this time captured in articles and photos. If no one takes it over it will be archived on some, as yet defined, site but will not be lost.

It has been visited over 100,000 times from over 90 countries, often by ex-residents of the village.

We are pleased to welcome back the award-winning group consisting of five instrumentalists, keyboard, violin, viola, cello and oboe. They will be playing popular music from the movies including James Bond, Game of Thrones, Doctor Zhivago, The Godfather, Gladiator, Titanic, Breakfast at Tiffany’s, 2001 : A Space Odyssey, Braveheart, Pirates of the Caribbean, Ladies in Lavender, Scent of a Woman, Lord of the Rings and Love Actually. They will also include a couple of Fordante’s own music – which always goes down well with our audiences.

Tickets priced £12 will be restricted this time and will be available shortly from John Hackett 01572 737394 or johnahackett@btinternet.com. Reservations are being taken now on a first come, first served basis. A licensed bar will be provided.

Please thank the following for last night:

Santa and his reindeer

Wing PCC and choir with special thanks to Carolyn Comben, Debbie Wight and Alice Hill

Rhiannon Jones for the Santa gifts

David Woods for his damson and sloe gins

Carolyn Sayers for running the childrens’ activities.

We raised £368.00 for Wing Parish Church.

Many thanks to all who supported. Happy Christmas to you all.

Dear Villagers

This year we will congregate at Mill Close at 5.15pm on Thursday 23 December to sing at selected houses around the village before joining the event at the Old Hall at 6pm where further carols will be sung.  Please dress up warmly, bring a torch and if possible wear reflective clothing.  Children are very welcome but must be accompanied please.

Look forward to seeing you there.
