My family and I arrived in Tugby in the mid seventies, having spent four years in South Africa, to stay with my parents, who were running the Fox & Hounds. Have been here ever since.
Started by helping to run the Fox & Hounds, then took on the Black Horse, set up a catering business, cooked at Tugby School, later at Uppingham Boarding School until I retired ten years ago. Have been busy ever since!!
Have always loved watching sport , (season ticket at both City and Tigers), played lots of tennis, had horses since I was thirteen, spent hours watching our son play rugby and cricket, then more hours watching/helping both daughters with their horses - tetrathlon and polo. I now walk miles every week with our lovely dogs, do lots of reading, get to cinema/theatre at any opportunity, music concerts (Stereophonics a favourite), visiting our children/grandchildren in Cumbria and Guernsey and my latest venture- carpet bowls at Tugby Village Hall!!
Tugby has been and is a happy place for me and my family.

As Chairperson of the Parish Council I am responsible for Planning and I also oversee the Allotments.

Ann moved to Tugby in 1988; the removal men thought she was mad, having seen the modern, easy to run house with lovely garden in Uppingham that she'd swapped for an old house with a concrete farmyard at the back but it was definitely a good decision.

She has been involved with Tugby Ladies Club for many years, organising speakers and outings and even a couple of overseas trips.

Prof Neil Halliwell has lived in Tugby for 12 years. He is a keen match angler and enjoys trying to play golf at Luffenham Heath Golf club. He is emeritus professor at Loughborough University having retired in 2011 as Provost and deputy Vice Chancellor following a career researching laser applications in engineering. He is married with three grown -up children and has recently become a grandparent.

As a Parish Councillor my responsibility is Roads.

Wendy has lived in Tugby for 25 years having moved to the village when her children were very young to give them the rural upbringing she had enjoyed.
