RUTLAND NATIONAL GARDEN SCHEME: so many thanks to all who opened their gardens and who visited our wonderful Rutland gardens this year. Thanks to you all £15,111.68 was raised for NGS caring charities plus a further £1852.00 share to other charities nominated by garden openers. Considering we had fewer gardens open and not such welcoming weather this was a good result. Next year we have some exciting new gardens opening for you to explore!
WING VILLAGE HALL DEFIBRILLATOR
The process for accessing the defibrillator is as follows:
Ring 999. Do not delay
The operator will then give you the code for getting the defibrillator from the phone box near the Kings Arms on Top Street.
Take it to the patient.
Open the case and it will then begin to give you instructions.
Do not worry about using it incorrectly as it is fully automatic and will only work in appropriate circumstances. Joanne is looking for some refresher training in the autumn for life saving using a defibrillator.
The Old Methodist ( formerly Wesleyan) Chapel, Middle Street, Wing. If anyone has any information about, memories of, or old photos of the Chapel which they would be happy to share I should be very grateful. As the new owners of the Chapel we are interested in learning all we can about its history and previous appearance, inside and out, and any detail would be helpful. I can be contacted at Chapel Cottage, 16 Middle Street; on 01572 737689; or by e mailing me at wingchapelsw@ gmx.co.uk
