Dear Villagers

This year we will congregate at Mill Close at 5.15pm on Thursday 23 December to sing at selected houses around the village before joining the event at the Old Hall at 6pm where further carols will be sung.  Please dress up warmly, bring a torch and if possible wear reflective clothing.  Children are very welcome but must be accompanied please.

Look forward to seeing you there.

Any final replies by end of today (13th December) if possible please to mrssallycox@hotmail.com.

Due to Covid issues the event will be mainly outdoors so please come wrapped up. Please also consider taking a lateral flow test beforehand as we are keen to keep the event as safe as possible.

Santa will be in his grotto from 6pm with his reindeer and carols will be sung during the evening. 

Covid friendly canapés and drinks will be served.

We look forward to welcoming you and any funds raised will go to Wing Parish Church.

Wing Seniors Christmas lunch took place today and was enjoyed by all who attended.

Thanks goes to Sara McAllister and Jules who worked before, during and after putting on a wonderful lunch. Thank you both for all the effort and time.

Alongside the helpers Rhiannon Jones – Wing’s own Deliveroo service, Mary Rogers, Helen and Richard Bateman, Chris and Andy Howarth who we borrowed from Ashwell and Judith Oakley, Mary Tulloch, Lyn Walsh and Ros King made the day happen with a smile and Christmas spirit.

Finally a thanks to Sarah O’Boyle for the decorations and Jon Roberts for making sure the hall was nice and warm.  

Many thanks.

Happy Christmas to you all.

As Bonfire Night approaches please think carefully before setting off any fireworks. There are horses, and also sheep, in the village, not to mention lots of dogs and cats – all of which will be terrified by bangs and whizzes, even if they are not very close to them. This can make horses in particular so frightened that they charge around and damage themselves horribly. There are horses, sheep and other animals very close to all the villages, so please be considerate and lawful.

And please be aware of the dangers to thatched buildings. We here in Wing nearly had an incident last year. It was only the swift action of some residents that prevented a tragedy.
