WWFC Chairmaking Day

‘WWFC Chair Making Day’

“Why are we called the Chairboys Daddy?”

This simple question encouraged the Wycombe Wanderers Trust to create the WWFC Chair Making Day on April 10th at Adams Park to coincide with the Hartlepool match. It will start at 11am and finish around 6pm.

This initiative is run and organised, by the Wycombe Wanderers Trust and the Wycombe Museum and supported by Wycombe’s furniture industry. It is designed to promote and raise awareness to the Wycombe Furniture Industry and its links to both the Wycombe Community and in particular Wycombe Wanderers Football Club.

There will be a display of exhibits, artefacts, historical documents, photos, pictures as well a DVD explaining the Wycombe Furniture Industry and its connections to the club. Many activities will be designed by the Museum specifically for children. We also hope to have live demonstrations of chair making.

WW Trust Director Garry Heath comments: “Many League football clubs adopted nicknames which reflected the prevalent industry the players and supporters worked in years ago. We have discovered that many of the new generation of Wycombe supporters have little idea of why WWFC is called the Chairboys and we thought it was high time to put that right.”

“We hope that we will be able to inform and excite all the generations of supporters. We will start at 11am and run for an hour after the Match. Come early there will be plenty to see “

Like all good football matches this is an event in two halves.

The first is at Adams Park Wycombe Wanderers Football Club on Saturday April 10th 2010 before and after the home League One fixture to Hartlepool United.

The second is at the Wycombe Museum on Thursday August 19th 2pm – 4pm. Each will have different content.
