We have now had two people who have been directed to “xx
Morcott Road” with the correct postcode to collect their French Bulldog puppy on which they have already paid a deposit.
The supposed owner is somebody who calls herself Donna Rose – who does not then answer her mobile and clearly has no puppies.
It is clearly a scam! This is being reported to the Pets4Home website
and we have contacted the police. We are waiting to see how many more visitors we get!
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.

“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 :-
