Welly Week

8th - 15th October 2011

Thank you to everyone who took part in Welly Week - 8th - 15th October.

Welly Week has become a great way of promoting RABI through countryside and farming related activities, involving people having fun.

Popular with college students, young farmers and school children, Welly Week has also caught the imagination of a wide cross section of RABI supporters, including show goers and church congregations.

Activities range from welly wanging competitions and wearing wellies to work or school to welly fashion shows and welly discos but there is scope for doing anything in wellies and raising funds, towards special equipment for elderly or disabled beneficiaries.
