On Sunday, Aug 7th The Francis-Barnett Owners Club (classic motorbikes, for those who don’t know!) is holding its AGM at Wing Village Hall where many of the classic bikes will be displayed. They are to be ‘judged’ from 11am but will be on display before then. 

At 3pm some of the bikes will go on a road run on roads ‘skirting’ Rutland Water.

If anyone in the village of Wing would like to come to see the bikes you will be very welcome.

Wing Sunday breakfast is cancelled this week due to sickness within the volunteer team. We hope to be back in July.

On behalf of all of those who have joined in the Wing Platinum Jubilee celebrations, I would like to say a Huge Thank you to all those who have made the events so enjoyable. Too many to name but these are some of the tasks – organising furniture from many sources; booking the band; beacon; table decorations (the Wednesday craft group); erecting and dismantling marquees; Flower Festival, Wing History; Art and Craft; Saturday teas; clearing up; Fiona for the wonderful cake competition. But there is one person who has spearheaded the whole Celebrations and made it so successful – Sally, we thank you wholeheartedly and do hope you are enjoying your well deserved holiday.

Thanks to those who have spent time taking down the marquees and decorations in Wing after working so hard putting it all together over the last week – a Job Well Done and appreciated by many.

If anyone has more photos they can send them to
