Welly Week – Get Involved!

The Royal Agricultural Benevolent Institution’s Welly Week is fast approaching and we wanted to tell you what we are up to.

For those of you who don’t know about RABI, it is one of the UK’s largest farming charities which, alongside their sister charity RSABI in Scotland, helps those in the UK farming community who are facing need, hardship or distress.  Click on the following links for more information about how they help.

Welly Week, which takes place from Saturday 11th – Saturday 18th October, is a new fundraising initiative in which people are asked to organise an event or take part in an activity involving wellies in order to help raise money for the purchase of special items for those in need (such as stairlifts and electrically-powered vehicles) and to raise the profile of RABI and the work that they do.

We at Muddy Matches think this is a genius idea and decided we wanted to do our bit.  Therefore, we hereby cordially invite you all to:

An Evening of ‘Welly Speed Dating’ in Wolvey, Warwickshire on Saturday 11th October 2008

Don your wellies and come and join us at this fun and informal evening of drinks
and speed dating.  Not only will you be helping raise money for an extremely worthy cause, but you will also get to meet lots of single country people and potentially bag yourself a date at the same time!

As you will know if you have filled out a profile on the site, we always ask new members what kind of wellies they wear and what they think it says about their personality.  Some of the answers are hilarious and it pretty obvious that some of you feel pretty strongly about it!  In fact, we always say that you can tell a lot about a prospective partner by what kind of wellies they wear; brightly coloured might show a creative side, for example, while high end may well mean high maintenance!  Why don’t you come and put our theory to the test and make your own minds up on the matter?

Tickets cost £10 and include a week’s subscription to Muddy Matches.  All proceeds will go to the RABI.  For more information and tickets, click here.
