Winton Forum is a focus point for community
action.
We meet regularly and take up a range of issues
with the Council and other authorities on behalf of our
members. See here for more details.
Our public meetings deal with topics of interest
or concern to the community. If there is something you would
like raised, we can normally get in the experts. Tell
us what you want.

Remembrance Sunday
 Around
twenty million people died in the "Great War "
of 1914 -18. It was supposed to be the war to end all wars
- but just over twenty years later it was all happening
again.
Several hundred of Winton's young men gave
their lives in the "Great War". Click here
to read about Winton the the First World War, and here
to read about Winton in the Second.
We have all that and much much more
of Winton across the ages.
Our history is just
a click away.

Post Office has closed
The Post Office has closed its branch at the
Charminster Road Co-op. The shutters went down at midday
on 29 October. The counters have already been replaced by
shelves of food.
The decision flies in the face of strongly
expressed local feeling at public meetings and a well supported
petition.
For more details, see our News
page.

NINETEEN other Wintons!
We've just found another!!!! It's a
very historic one in East Sussex. Take
a look.
They're scattered all round the world.
There is a Winton in just about every kind
of setting you can imagine from deserts to frozen forests.
Despite the diversity - there is a lot that
we have in common.
See how people live there and how those places
came to be.
