Winkwoth Bath team at the Bath Boules tournament

Winkworth Bath supports Bath community by taking part in the Bath Boules tournament and sponsoring The Royal Crescent Shakespearean Theatre production. Both events were a fantastic success and raised a great deal of money for local charities.

The Bath Boules tournament was held on 20 June 2010.  The event has been running for 20 years and over the years it has grown increasingly popular with 128 teams participating and over 1,000 spectators during the course of the weekend. This was the first year Winkworth Bath participated in the vent, as the office opened earlier this year. The Bath Boules Charitable trust supports local charities of which a board of trustees decide which of these charities are the most in need for that year, last year for example £10,000 was donated to Julian House, and in previous years donations have been made to Dorothy House, Wellow riding school for the disabled to name but a few. This year the charity has yet to be chosen.

The recently restored Royal Crescent Lawn was the venue for The Royal Crescent Shakespearean Theatre production’s Much Ado About Nothing held on 11 and 12 June 2010.  The lawn was transformed into a spectacular outdoor theatre, complete with an ornate Sicilian garden, and around 1,000 people were enjoyed Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing in this unique setting – and helped raise funds for two very worthy causes, CHILDREN with LEUKAEMIA and the Child Bereavement Charity.
