The 12th Annual Wells Charity Boules – Sunday 8th July, 2012
organised by the Rotary Clubs of Avalon and Wells
Back in 2000, the idea for the boules tournament followed a trip to Nepal by a group of Rotarians from Avalon and Wells. We returned with the determination to support the projects we’d seen by raising money for The Nepal Trust. What better way to do that than by having an annual Boules Tournament? This year sees our twelth and we do hope you’ll join us.
Over the years, the money we’ve raised from team fees, piste sponsorship and other sources has topped an incredible £60,000 for The Nepal Trust.
Local families, businesses, Rotarians and Boules enthusiasts make up forty-eight teams, playing throughout the day from 9.30am, with the final at 5.00pm.
Members of the Rotary Clubs of Avalon and Wells transform the area outside Wells Town Hall into Boules Pistes, complete with bar, al fresco buffet lunch and jazz band to provide the background music.
The entry cost per team is £95.00. Four players per team can play at any one time, however, you can have as many members per team as you wish, rotating your team players to ensure everyone has a chance to play. Please note there needs to be a minimum of four players per team.
Team fees include four tickets for our delicious buffet lunch, as well as four tickets for coffee and croissant. Additional lunch tickets are available to purchase in advance at £11.00 per person and coffee/croissant tickets at £3.00 per person. Tea and coffee are available all day too.
Another way to support Wells Charity Boules is to sponsor a Boules Piste. The cost is £100.00 per piste for which your sponsorship is acknowledged with an A3 board at the end of the piste bearing your company name and logo. Alternatively (or in addition to!), we’d be grateful to any organisation able to provide a prize for our raffle.
When you enter a team, sponsor a piste, enter the raffle or buy drinks on the day, you will be contributing to make a difference to people’s lives in Nepal.
Please find enclosed a team application form, along with a piste sponsor form and we’d be grateful if you could return either or both, with payment, as soon as possible please, to me at the address below. Closing date for applications will be end of June, 2012.
If you have any queries, please speak to either myself or Sara Blair at The Crown.
We’re really looking forward to this year’s Boules and do hope you’ll join us.
Yours sincerely,
Adrian Lawrence – Wells Rotary Club
