Just something I found today in a folder from the Fred Clarke collection
Sports programme from the RMS “Armadale Castle”, 1934 (ref FC/4/34)
I’m intrigued by the “Potato Races”, and what could “Are you there?” possibly be? Hide and seek? I think I’d probably do best at the not-very-athletic sounding “Thread the Needle Race”…
The Blind-Fold driving race sounds pretty scary!
it seems unfair that the men have to do the potato race blindfolded! I’d like to think that the race consists of dressing up as a giant potato and just waddling to the finish line. Maybe it’s more likely to be a potato rolling competition? Or maybe an early version of masterchef where the winner was the one who could fashion the most exciting potato-based dish whilst running a marathon.
