GUEST,Old Caledonian Folklore: Traditional Games at Folk Festivals (20) Folklore: Traditional Games at Folk Festivals 10 Dec 04


I'm researching unusual and traditional games and contests that used to be held at Folk Festivals.

As well as welly-throwing and the like, I know there used to be a shirt-throwing contest at English festivals in the 50s and early 60s.

Can anyone shed any light on this custom please and what became of it?
