efestivals Glasto World Cup - WaterAid charity event

[hogga]

The efestivals Glastonbury World Cup is back - and everyone's invited

Last years event saw prematch entertainment from Hobo Jones and the Junkyard Dogs, then England romping to a 9-3 victory over the Rest of the World with the icing on the cake being Michael Eavis turning up to present the trophy! All that plus we raised over £3000 for WaterAid.

Once again me (England) and Chazeboy (Rest of the World) are organising the game and we are putting together two teams to take part.

This years 2nd efestivals Glastonbury World Cup in aid of WaterAid takes place on -

Thursday 24th June at 1 o'clock on the Pyramid stage field.

Hopefully with the real world cup being on and an England game on the big screen on the Wednesday there will be plenty of flags and supporters to hopefully beat last years excellent crowd (especially England's rowdy barmy army - who all piled on Englands goalkeeper at the end of the game!).

It will all kick off at 1pm with prematch entertainment from Hobo Jones and the Junkyard Dogs who will be doing a 40 minute set.

After that, the big game will start with two teams of athletes brimming with sublime skill who will pit themselves against each other in a grudge match like no other.....well I can't promise that but I can promise a few overweight festie types kicking a ball about in grass so long you could lose Peter Crouch in it.

The game will then finish around 3 o'clock when once again the festival King himself Michael Eavis will present the trophy to the winning team.

WaterAid will again be on hand with collection buckets at the game as we hope to try and beat last years excellent total and try and secure donations equivalent to the cost of building three wells. Also people who can't make it to the event can make an online donation at http://www.justgiving.com/glastoworldcup2010/

Please come along and help support an event that we hope will become a Glastonbury tradition. Last years game got some great coverage on BBC, ITV, Worthy FM as well as the Q Glastonbury review magazine (who are once again sending Pat Gilbert down to play for the England team). We hope with your help and support and people digging deep with their donations we can have another brilliant event that we can all be proud of.
