Summer Family Afternoon Sat 2nd Aug 1400-1700 Wellow Green

The Wellow Millennium Green Trust needs (modest) funds and help to keep going - cutting grass, etc. This fun-filled action-packed afternoon for all the family will take place on Saturday 2nd August starting at 2pm and finishing at 5pm.  Please do try to come and support this special local green -- use it or lose it!

We are very lucky to have the support of West Wight Sports Centre; the Wellow Millennium Green is hoped to be the first Outreach Centre for the WWSC and the team will be there on Saturday, heading-up the event, and looking forward to meeting you.

You'll see from the pages below that there is something for everyone and the family, from the 3-leggged race (takes me back!) to the Dad's race (or Granddad's Race in my case, how time flies!). All proceeds go to the upkeep of the Green through the Wellow Green Trust Fund. This is one of the Trusts founded by the Millennium Commission; for those interested see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Millennium_Green

Entry is just £3 on the gate or you can buy a programme for only £2, from local shops including the Village Shop at Shalfleet, or from Shalfleet or Yarmouth Schools. £2 FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY FOR AN AFTERNOON'S ENTERTAINMENT?! Crikey! Next we'll tell you that a celebrity is coming...well, it might happen, but no promises yet, we don't want you to be disappointed.

Car parking is free. It is somewhat limited right by the Green but in only a hundred yards or so,  in the direction of Thorley, just past the Baptist Church,  there is a farm gate on your right hand side leading to a field belonging to Jill and Stephen Cowley, who have kindly made this available free of charge for the day. It's only a hundred yards from the Green. The pdf document you can see below can be downloaded and printed and/or emailed to friends, family and work colleagues. If you are on Twitter, Facebook or Instagram, you can use the jpeg image in the link below (click) to attach to a tweet, etc. Let's make this a smashing day! Sandy and I can't make it because our daughter is getting married in Tunbridge Wells on the day.  It's a shame, we would have very much liked to have gone. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0EQpUF-FQ8gaGFEY003dllQbEU/edit?usp=sharing
