FORMAL NOTICE OF THE ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING OF WING COMMUNITY CENTRE


In accordance with clause 8 of the Trust Scheme dated 14th October, 1997 Wing Parish Council, as sole trustee of Wing Community Centre hereby gives notice that the Annual General meeting of WING COMMUNITY CENTRE, a UK registered charity, will take place on MONDAY, 18TH JANUARY, 2021 at 7.30 pm.

The purpose of the Meeting is for the trustee to present the Report and Accounts of WING COMMUNITY CENTRE for the year ended 31st March, 2020 and to take any questions from the community.

The trustee requests that members of the community submit questions in advance of the meeting so that the trustee can prepare appropriately. If a member of the community is unable to attend the meeting, then please do still ask your question and the trustee will make a written response which will be submitted to the meeting and provided after the meeting to the member.

The meeting is open to all members of the Wing Community who wish to attend and will be held by ZOOM conference call. The agenda and instructions on how to join the call will be provided to members who register in advance with the Parish Council. If you would like to attend the AGM then please email wingrutlandpc@gmail.com or telephone Helen Cullen on 737544, in advance of the meeting or, at the latest by 12pm on Monday, 18th January, 2021.

This is your Village Hall and the Parish Council would like any interested residents to attend the meeting if they would like to. We are somewhat restricted this year because of COVID but we felt that this should not stop us having a meeting, albeit electronically. On this occasion there is only the presentation of the accounts, relevant officers’ reports and any questions which residents may have on the agenda, but even so, it is an opportunity for residents to gain a better understanding of how we manage our major village asset. Do please join us, if you can.

Dorothy’S Tree


Dorothy’s Tree. Trees are long lived, stable and pretty permanent . They put their roots down deeply into the soil so villagers thought it only appropriate to celebrate and commemorate Dorothy Buckby’s 100 years in Wing by planting a tree. Dorothy’s tree planting was not merely decorative; as befits the former land girl she was determined to ensure all the soil was filled in around the roots.

Christmas Cheer In Wing

Christmas Cheer in Wing

As you will recall, in May the Covid19 Group arranged VE day celebrations to bring the community together.  It was a great success and as Christmas approaches, we are announcing another event.

Wing ‘Christmas Cheer’ on 23rd December 2020

between 5:00 and 7:00 pm.

This will be an opportunity for everyone to have festive drinks (or non-alcoholic and children’s alternatives) and a mince pie and other festive fayre at various locations around the village. Santa will make an appearance, Christmas Carols, socially distanced, will be sung in the churchyard alongside opportunities to view the Christmas Lights and Advent Windows throughout the village.

We are delighted that so many people are already displaying festive lights and Advent windows around the village. The more the merrier – thank you! Do let us know if you are willing to participate and we will create a map to guide you around the village.  Please let us know by Saturday 5/12/2020

Mindful of the Covid19 rules, we would like to set out an overall structure for the evening to observe rules and keep everyone safe.

The route will start at the Village Hall where a map of the Advent Windows can be collected, along with a drink and other goodies. The route will then take you past the Church where carols will be sung and then round the village to see the Advent Windows and Christmas Lights.  At various locations there will be additional festive drinks and fayre, before finishing with Santa at Townsend Barn and, no doubt, further drinks!

To ensure social distancing, we would ask that you let us know of your interest to attend so we can allocate a timeslot for your household to begin your evening. Obviously, we have to avoid large numbers assembling in any location in order to comply with the regulations and keep everyone safe.

Please respond Email: wingrutlandpc@gmail.com to register your interest.

Please let us know and we will bring a festive drink and fayre to you at home during the day.  Please phone one of the wellbeing volunteers (see below) if you would like a home visit or please reply to this email.

This event is hopefully an opportunity to raise a little bit of money. Once any costs are covered, all monies raised will go to the Church. Any donations will be gratefully received and there will be collection buckets at the various drink / food tables around the village.

The Grand Christmas Tree Lights will be turned on at 6:00 pm on Wednesday 2nd December.

All are welcome to come and see the lights being turned on;- PLEASE maintain social distancing and the household rules for tier 2.

In what has been a difficult year, we hope you will feel able to join in the festivities to provide much-needed cheer and an opportunity for the village to celebrate together.

Happy Christmas to you all
