Thanks to everyone who completed a questionnaire, to provide your views about the possible future priorities for our lovely village. About 50% of the questionnaires were returned.
The questionnaires have been analysed by an independent company and they have provided us with the results.
The N.P. steering group have arranged to hold 2 public feedback sessions. This is to enable residents to hear the feedback. It is also an opportunity to ask questions and to hear about the next step in the progress towards the final Neighbourhood Plan Document.
The first session will be held on SUNDAY 2nd DECEMBER at 3pm. The next on WEDNESDAY. 5th DECEMBER at 7 pm.
Any questions please contact Nicky Lyttleton, Chairman, or myself, Joanne Beaver, Vice Chairman. beawingj@gmail.com, or any committee member.
If you look at the war Memorial Board for 1935-45, in Wing Church, you will notice that the Wing residents of the 1939-45 war period were very fortunate in that none lost their lives. Nevertheless, those villagers who served during that period are recorded and remembered with thanksgiving.
This year, 2018, is one during which the end of the 1914-18 war is being remembered and sacrifices honoured.
Few, if any, Wing residents of today will have personal memories of those particular people mentioned on the Memorial Board. However, all of us will have our own family memories of that period of British history.
Therefore you are invited to share and honour your family members who served and those who sacrificed their lives during the wars of 1914-8 and 1939-45.
You can do this by putting a poppy on the Wing ‘Memory Wall’ located in Wing Church for the November 11th Armistice Day Services.
If you live in Wing you have received an envelope with poppy with a label for you to write the name/s of a family member/s you wish to be remembered.
Please return the poppy in the envelope to the box in the church or village hall, to a member of the P.C.C. or to me. If you would like to make a donation, this will be forwarded to the Royal British Legion.
Thank you, Gloria Whight

From David Seviour:
‘A History of Wing Village and Its Setting 1066 – 2018’
As supporters of Wing village, I thought you might be interested in a further update on the above book sales and related donations.
I can confirm that a total of 71 books plus 6 copies of ‘Wing Village: A Walk Through History’ have been sold to date, yielding £1,080 in total, dispersed £540 to each of the Church Fabric Fund & the Village Hall Community Fund.
In giving consideration to further marketing of the books on an active basis, I believe that there is still scope for more village sales and scope for sales to visitors. Accordingly, 11 books have been placed with James and Kate Goss at the Kings Arms, and 6 books have been placed on a sale or return basis with Walkers Bookshop in Oakham.
Books can still be ordered through contacting me.
Three of the above sales were to the Rutland County Council Library and Museums Service which also might help to generate some demand as well as an interest in visiting Wing.
Wing Village website I know from feedback generated some interest including visits from two Australian tourists. One of these tourists will have discovered in reading the history on his flight home that two of his ancestors were referred to in the book, one a former Sheriff in 1866, and the other the subject of an early photograph, playing in the WI pipe band!
There is obviously some potential regarding Christmas presents for residents’ relatives and former residents – so think history!
I’ve yet to send a complimentary copy to the Rutland History & Record Society but have been asked to give a talk on it at the Uppingham Local History Group in February which might generate sales.
Ben Jackson, BBC Radio Leicester also came to Wing and did an interview on aspects of it which I don’t think has been broadcast as yet, and if it is broadcast might also generate some sales.
Any further ideas on sales outlets will be welcomed.
Remember this book is a win-win, a purchaser gets a book AND the gross proceeds go to two local charitable causes.
I hope this helps to report and inform.
David
