As many of you know Wing has, as many villages have, a 100 Club. People can buy shares in this club and once a month there are 3 members who are “picked out of a hat” to win prizes. This is normally done at the Thursday morning coffee morning but in view of Corvid-19 the village hall is closed until further notice. But the draw has been taking place! The winners have been notified but here are the results for the rest of us.

April	Crissie Roberts	46
	Lynn Kitson	36
	Jane Gilmore	04
May	Jeffy Wood	147
	Anna Tyler	27
	Jesse Heyden	29

“Dear John

We hope you and Judith are well. We would like to thank you and Rhiiannon for putting together a system to help the village deal with Covid-19. Would you kindley put the following in the Parish Magazine :-

“We would like to thank our neighbours and friends who have offered to help us in case of need with shopping etc., during the Covid-19 epidemic. We would also like to thank John and Rhiannon for putting together a plan to try to keep our community safe”

Many thanks Johm
