Whats Wellie Wanging you ask? Wellie Wanging, or Wellie Throwing, is a sport that originated in Britain. Competitors are required to hurl a wellington boot as far as possible within boundary lines, from a standing or running start. A variation requires participants to launch the wellie from the end of their foot as if they were kicking off a pair of shoes.
Official Olympic Apparel will also be available (DON’T MISS IT)!!!
Yes, there has to be some civilized structure to such an intense competition:
- The GumShoe Challenge is a sport open to all people irrespective of age, sex, race, creed, religion, nationality and colour. And people from Lancashire who want to win GOLD!!!
- The sport shall be a civilised affair. Fair play, good humour and good manners shall be exhibited at all times. Any injuries incurred while in pursuit of GOLD is the responsibility of the participating “athlete”.
- No umpire shall be needed. A player’s word and their honour shall be sufficient.
- Competition closes at 1pm PST February 24, 2010.
GOOD LUCK!!!
