In it to win it on sports day

SCHOOL sports day was always a bit special.

We looked forward with eager anticipation to the sack race, the three-legged race, egg and spoon, skipping and just plain running as fast as you could.

At my old school, Cliffe Hill, in the mid-50s we had ‘house’ colours but when I transferred to Lightcliffe we had house names with colours.

Proud to be representing their team, every competitor wanted to win.

There was the inevitable disappointment for many but we soon got over it and moved on to the next event.

Falling over, bumps and scraps were all part of the day but times did change when a number of schools banned their annual sports day because there were fears that children would hurt themselves.

Then came another change – everyone had to win, no one could lose. It was thought that a child could not stand the disappointment. If only life was like that.

Sports day at St Martin’s Secondary Modern School at the Waterloo playing fields was a bit more serious. Here we were allowed to throw javelins, attempt the pole vault and putt the shot. No-one banned these events for fear of dropping the shot on your foot or sending the javeline flying into the crowd.

The art of millinery, or designing and crafting of men’s hats, dates back almost five hundred years to Italy, when milliners were responsible for providing a new middle class with hats, gloves, and other small, “haberdashery” items made or created in Milan. In the 1770s, about the same time America was signing its Declaration of Independence, European milliners began designing their own styles of hats in France and England.
