POSTCARD IN THE TIMES – WEEK 6

July 9th, 2008 admin

Continuing my weekly dispatch in The Times, week 6 was taken at the Royal Show, Stoneleigh.

Stoneleigh, Warwickshire, July 3rd 2008

Participants take part in a Wellie Wanging contest at the 159th Royal Show in Stoneleigh Park, Warwickshire. The contest was organised to help raise funds for the Farm Crisis Network charity. Wellie Wanging is believed to originated in Yorkshire and competitors are required to hurl a Wellington boot as far as possible within boundary lines.

  1. Possible origins of the phrase “give it some welly”? Or maybe not.
