Wing’s collection for the Rutland Food Bank


Wing’s collection for the Rutland Food Bank
This year I am making a collection for the Food Bank over the next few weeks and aiming to take it to them in the middle of January. The village hall have very kindly said that I can leave a collection box there and I will have a box in the porch of my house
4 Top Street, Wing, LE15 8SE
I will be at The Spirit of Christmas at the village hall on Dec 2nd so you can bring goodies there too.
I have been in touch with the food bank and these are the items that they are most in need of (they have a good stock of pasta, baked beans, breakfast cereal, teabags, pasta sauce). The toiletries and sanitary supplies are the most needed items. Any food products must have at least a 3 month shelf-life.
Toiletries, eg toilet rolls, toothbrushes, toothpaste, shower gel, shampoo, soap, washing up liquid, nappies and sanitary products.
Food items
  Sponge puddings,    Rice pudding,  Jam, Coffee,
 UHT milk,  Ambient/long life fruit juice
So WING, come on and be generous

Mafeking was like this


It’s now called “Mahikeng” but when they were besieged there during the second Boer war the troops must have been exceeding pleased to hear the relief column was nearly with them.

To those who are suffering a state of siege mentality brought on by the enforced closure of the Wheatsheaf  in Edith Weston, relief is at hand. The official re opening is on Saturday 3rd December.

Food will be available from the start but Christmas bookings are not being taken. All very much suck it and see for now.
