WITH Bonnie Wingham 2015 wrapped up its time for me, on behalf of the organising committee, to say thank you to the Wingham community for its willing and generous support.

We have 11 successful festivals behind us, none of which would have been possible without a town that believed in us and the Manning Valley Historical Society.
Free entry? All the other communities that hold similar events say that it can't be done but Wingham's generosity proves them wrong. The sponsors, the volunteers, the groups like the Scouts, SES, Rural Fire Service and the Rotary Service Club, all show that Wingham people have a heart.
The Wingham Chronicle staff, especially Sam, Julia and Elaine, are stars and I'm sure we couldn't have done it without them and their photographers.
Wingham Services Club staff also deserve a special mention. The weekend would have been much duller without Nicky and her people. Thank you all.
Forward bookings for 2016 and comments from visitors who have rung me to say that they will be back are the icing on the cake. It`s now only 11 months away.
Thank you all
Sincerely
Eric Richardson, president Bonnie Wingham Scottish Festival
