Wing Villagers enjoyed a fine September evening with music and BBQ to celebrate the end of the Ride and Stride and to exchange summer stories.

£300 was raised to be split between the Church and Village Hall. A big thank you to all who helped.

Village Barbecue with Music (“I Survived the Ride + Stride”)


We will be having a Village Barbecue with Music from 5pm on the 12th Sept. at the Village Hall. All are welcome especially participants in the Rutland Ride + Stride event.

We are planning it in the car park (weather permitting).  It is simply a get together for people to have a burger/sausage and a drink at the end of the summer to coincide with the Ride and Stride.  We will ask for a £5 donation for a burger and drink.
Any proceeds split between 2 village amenities (hall and church).
