Longest conga of people wearing wellies-world
record set by Bicton students
DEVON, UK -- 208 students and staff from Bicton
College wearing waltzers have achieved a world record for
the longest conga of people wearing wellies.
Photo: The conga, featuring 208 people,
was part of many ‘Welly Wednesday’ events taking place at
the Devon college as part of Welly Week, a national fundraising
event launched by The Royal Agricultural Benevolent Institution
(RABI). ( enlarge

Students from all disciplines including Equine
Studies, Animal Care, Horticulture, Countryside, Agriculture
and Outdoor Leisure joined up with staff, children from the
on-site nursery, Saplings, and pupils from Barley Lane School
to form the conga which made the shape a giant welly.
Agriculture Lecturer Sam Walker said: "We are
astonished by the level of animation this has produced in
our students, many of our courses involve welly wearing, so
Bicton College was the ideal place to hold a world record
attempt."
Students also organised a “welly wagon” (tractor
and trailer) toured Budleigh Salterton collecting for RABI,
and the Welly Olympics featuring welly wanging, a wet welly
slide, welly sheep racing and tractor pull (wearing wellies).
In the evening, there was a Welly Disco.
