peter bush   10 #3 Posted May 10, 2011 We entered a team from Freemans mail order and I think we came second. I believe the year was 75 or 76 and it was a lovely day weather wise. Didnt they do another one the following year in Graves Park? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Didnt they do another one the following year in Graves Park?  hi peter, we won it ( express dairies ) but only after a stewards enquiry,think it was the sportsman ( hackenthorpe ) who came second.Could be wrong i often am,whatever it was a glorious sunny day and the competition was ferocious to say it was only meant to be a family fun day,millhouses was packed and the crowd really got behind there respected teams, went home knackered but it was worth the effort.Brilliant day spent with brilliant people.

peter bush   10 #7 Posted May 11, 2011 You are probably right Grandadowl. I do remember Express dairies winning. It was very competitive. I remember carrying planks with people on board. Painful on the shoulders. And climbing up and over that greasy obstacle. Very enjoyable. Good memories. Didnt Peter Price of the council organise them?

Didnt Peter Price of the council organise them?  think it was the bike race first and when our lad came in in second place we thought bloody hell we had better try to live up to that,second ( i think ) was the race across the paddling pool, did we carry people on boats or were they on planks or summat ?. Yeah remember the greasy obstacle, just what you needed !!!.Remember all pileing in to the pub after but cant remember coming out lol. Was very late for work the next day as were a few others,we were all milkmen dont forget lol. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
