Wing Seniors Christmas Lunch

Weather Report
From Paul Brewer:
It will be irrelevant to most of you, and you may not be able to communicate amongst yourselves anyway, but, for what it is worth here is the state of play as regards the weather and roads here in Wing.
Today (Sun 10th) was seniors Christmas lunch. Because of the importance of the event, the path up to the car park and the car park itself was cleared of snow and gritted. As of 18:00 today the track and car park are clear of snow and black in colour right down to the road.
The gravel car park, to the left, as you enter, has not been cleared and is difficult to drive on with other than a 4X4.
Wing village was effectively cut off this morning and was so up until midday. Wing hill coming in from Preston was very slippery and my car could not get down, let alone up it.
However by mid-afternoon a gritting lorry came through, from Manton I think, so the road had been cleared. It is now freezing hard and I don’t know what the state will be tomorrow morning. I shall be attempting a doctors visit to Uppingham in the morning and will report road conditions on my return midday.
Can I suggest if you are interested in conditions local to Wing you look on our village website where we will try to keep up to date information available while conditions are rough.

IMPORTANT VILLAGE MEETING REGARDING WING VILLAGE HALL WEDNESDAY 17 JANUARY 7PM
The Parish Council, as Trustee of the Charity Wing Community Centre (Wing Village Hall) wishes to seek the approval of Wing’s community to extend the Scheme governing the Charity to enable the Village Hall Management Committee to spend monies raised in the future, in excess of that required to maintain and develop the Village Hall, on activities of wider benefit to the community.
The Charity was originally established to established to ring-fence the funds raised for the benefit of the village hall only.
At present the trust document restricts how monies raised can be spent. This will require a change to the Charity Commission Objectives and will require the agreement of a majority of the residents.
Please come along to hear how the proposed changes could work.
HAVE YOUR SAY.
It is important that residents are fully informed about the impact these changes could have.
Bryan Spooner, Chairman, Wing Parish Council and Sally Cox, Chairman Wing Village Hall Management Committee, will lead the discussion.
All are Welcome and Encouraged to attend.
Christmas Lunch is still on
What is there to be cheerful about this time of year?
With the nights drawing in and the temperature dropping, what with more and more football on the TV, Cricket now fading away. Even Coronation street actors becoming a rare species, there is not much to stop one being depressed. Now that the Maze work has been done you could venture out if it wasn’t so cold.
However.
If you are Pensioner. If you do now, or ever have, lived in Wing, or have been a regular attendee at Wing events. Then it could be construed that there is a bright spot on the horizon.
As was last year, this year there will be another Christmas Lunch Spectacular. An auspicious date has been chosen and I am at liberty to tell you it will be held on :-
SUNDAY December 10
As last year, assemble at the Village Hall at 12:30 for 13:00pm
In keeping with the a whole year’s tradition, the menu will be
TURKEY with all the trimmings (a new Turkey)
As it has now been decided that order and discipline is required after last year’s disgraceful carry on with several people having to be turned away. A strict check will be kept on those attending.
As part of these security measures potential attendees should give their names and their choice of Sweet, Afters or Desert to Paul Brewer.
He is to be found at the Village Hall every Thursday Morning looking after the temperature of Mrs Holden’s second cuppa and the general hygiene of Coffee Morning. Be prepared to show proof of identity residency and possibly antecedents.
This year the menu choice will be:-
Traditional CHRISTMAS PUDDING.
Refreshing LEMON MERINGUE ROULARD
Or Healthy FRUIT SALAD
Let him know what your choice is and the organisers will ensure you get a prime seat at the feast.
If you are a bit squeamish about dealing with a defrocked treasurer then you could contact Mary Rodgers directly.
An auction is taking place for the Wish Bone, sealed bits to the lad please.
This year the 100 Club prizes will feature £100 first, £60 Second and £30 Third. Richard, the club Supremo will be in attendance. your chance to lobby for a place on the restricted list.
If you wonder what gets Roger so Happy

He only comes ashore once a year, why?
For the Lunch of course!
BE THERE !
