Long Term Parish Councillors Retire
Thank you to Tony Clark (96) who has been a long-standing member of Wing Parish Council, including sometimes being Chairman, since the 1970s, and Bryan Spooner, who has been a member of the Parish Council for 22 years, Bryan remembers joining in 1997 and is the present retiring Chairman.
Wing thanks you both for all your hard work for us.
Where do I look for local news on the internet?
We have several sites where you can find Wing news on the internet.
We use “appropriate technology” to reach the widest audience.
The “master site” is the Wing Community website wingrutland.uk
All articles that are posted to the Wing Community website are also automatically posted to the Facebook page “Wing Community” and Twitter “@wingrutlanduk” but they are removed periodically by Facebook and Twitter.
There is also a local neighbourhood site Nextdoor.
(There is also a closed Facebook “Wing Community Group” but that is not used very much now we have Nextdoor.)
Nextdoor is like a simple Facebook with few functions other than posting and replying to messages, which as also sent to your email address. But it is the most heavily used of all the message facilities because it is so simple and, unlike the Wing Community website, any member can post or send a private message to anyone else in their neighbourhood.
You can get more details here , everything you wanted to know but never dared ask!
But remember there is always the Rutland Water Beneface Magazine, aka the Parish Mag, for those residents who don’t have nor don’t want to have the internet or just want to savour the news in printed form.
All these sources are edited by the same staff – me.

Cynthia Harris wishes all her friends A Merry Christmas and a Peaceful New Year.
From: Joanne Beaver:
Cynthia is now back at Crown from Peterboro Hospital. She is well but too weak to come to the village Xmas lunch. She is worried because she cannot write her Christmas cards for friends. She has asked that I use the internet to Wish friends a Merry Christmas and a Peaceful New Year.
If you know someone who doesn’t use the internet, e.g. Dorothy, please will you tell them?
Maybe the Xmas WI meeting and Xmas lunch could be used to pass this message along, please.
Barbara Steen
The funeral of Barbara Steen who died Friday 23rd Feb will be held on Friday 9th March at 2 o’clock in the chapel of St Anne’s and St John’s (behind Wilkinson’s) Oakham.
When the old school became the Village Hall Gloria Whight and Jill Yell started a Nursery in the Village Hall and appointed Barbara Steen to run it.
