THREEMILESTONE SCHOOL SUMMER FETE
SATURDAY 15TH JUNE 12 – 3pm

We are delighted to be able to host a summer fete this year. We wanted to provide the whole
community with some fun and celebrate everything that we are so proud of here at school. So we’ve
arranged for some amazing FREE activities for everyone to come and try within our fantastic school
grounds, so why not try your hand at circus skills with the amazing “Circus into Schools” or learn
some more about our gorgeous coast with the “The Rock Pool Project”.
We are also expecting some other visitors but don’t want to give everything away before the day
arrives.
We are really excited about this event and would love for as many people to attend as possible, so tell
your friends and family, invite your neighbours. Pack a picnic rug and come and enjoy the school
grounds as you’ve never seen them before.
We are also thrilled to announce that our very own boy band will also be performing…

THE TMS WELLY WANGLE
12 – 2PM
The sport is to be played with the utmost of British sportsmanship and a large smattering of sense of
humour. The premise is blindingly simple – all competitors have to do is wang (Yorkshire for throw) a
Wellington boot as far as possible within defined boundary lines, from a standing or running start. It’s
pretty much the same as the javelin event in the Olympics with the exception that a welly is unlikely
to ever skewer an unexpecting judge or spectator.
Of course, we recognise that rules go against the very nature of the sport and are aware a
smattering of common sense should always be used when interpreting them. The rules of Welly
Wanging as ratified by the World Welly Wanging Association are listed below.
1. Welly wanging is a sport open to all people irrespective of age, sex, race, creed, religion,
nationality and colour. And people from Lancashire or in this case Devon!!
2. The sport shall be a civilised affair. Fair play, good humour and good manners shall be
exhibited at all times.
3. No umpire shall be needed. A player’s word and their honour shall be sufficient.
4. Distances shall be measured in yards, feet and inches. None of this European nonsense.
5. The standard welly shall be the Dunlop green, size 9, non steel toe-cap. Competitors shall
select whether they use lefty or righty welly.
6. No tampering with the welly shall be allowed. Factory finish only. No silicone polish is to be
applied.
7. A maximum run-up of 42 paces shall be allowed. This distance was chosen in memory of
Douglas Adams, himself a proponent of the sport.
8. The run-up shall end with a straight line of 10 feet in length, that being the width of a standard
Yorkshire gate.
9. The welly shall land within the area defined by the straight lines marked by the running track.
This playing area is known as the ‘Thong’.
10. There shall be four categories: Men’s and Women’s, and Boys and Girls (u-18’s).
11. The welly shall be projected using any action of the arm or foot for the respective categories.
12. The use of wind assistance is allowed and, indeed, encouraged. Waiting for a suitable gust,
however, is limited to one minute. No artificial or man-made wind is to be used.
13. The winners of the two adult categories shall receive the Golden Boot and respect from all
Welly Wangers across the world. Winners of the Children’s category shall receive a crisp
five-pound note. They can spend this on anything they like.
