Are you ready for the World Cup? Ready for the next month of wall-to-wall football? Are you excited?
\nNo? Us neither!<\/p>\n

However we are really excited to announce the Whilton Locks Garden Village World Cup – and the good news is it has nothing to do with football and it won’t even disrupt Coronation Street on the TV!<\/strong>
\n\"Whilton<\/a><\/p>\n

What is the WLGVWC and how can I get involved, we hear you chant?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Well let\u2019s explain.<\/em><\/strong>
\nAfter a long qualifying campaign featuring everything at WLGV we are down to the very best 32 ‘teams’.<\/p>\n

The concept is simple – we’ll post a ‘match’ between two teams on Facebook – showing two items that WLGV offer, along with a few words supporting each team and you can comment or like each one. The ‘team’ with the most reactions will win that match.<\/p>\n

Each match will coincide with the World Cup kick-off times (ish).<\/p>\n

The format will follow the World Cup group stages (with a points system), knockout stages, quarter and semi finals, ending up with a final, from which a champion will be crowned.<\/p>\n

Pre-tournament favourites include the Full English Breakfast<\/strong>, Sundae Best<\/strong> and Afternoon Tea<\/strong> – again this isn\u2019t based on football just the fact we like our food, don\u2019t you?
\nThat said, there are some pretty tasty matches in the initial group stages – Compost<\/strong> and The Potting Shed<\/strong> could get messy, Cuddle Days<\/strong> and Pet Pick and Mix<\/strong> sounds fun and Garden Furniture<\/strong> and Pond Equipment<\/strong> sounds very much like the contents of my shed!<\/p>\n

The cute and cuddly are always going to do well but this tournament has some pretty strong teams from the WLGV Ice Rink<\/strong>, Cuddle Days<\/strong>, amazing Events at WLGV<\/strong> and Garden Furniture<\/strong> all battling for the top spot. Who would you like to win?<\/p>\n

The whole event kicks off tomorrow, on Facebook, with Group A and hosts Welcome to Whilton<\/strong> pitched against Gazebo\u2019s and Garden<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

We\u2019d love you all to join in and get involved.<\/strong><\/p>\n
