EVENT OF THE MONTH 

 

World Wellington Boot Throwing Championships

 

Wellington, Somerset

Saturday 11th September

 

There's Welly Wanging and there's Gum Boot throwing but the real thing hits Wellington in Somerset. 

 

Arguably the blue ribbon throwing event of the wacky world, competitors simply have to launch the eponymous boot as far as they can. 

 

Easy?  Why not give it a go...
