Thread Name: Whitby. Was it always in August?
Subject: RE: Whitby. Was it always in August?
From my fb page Doc Rowe says why not involve Tony Foxworthy and Graham Binless and ask for their memories also being early participants

We have lost many of the early people of course ~ the Sheffielders and Leeds/Wakefield mob who were folk club goers and somewhat younger and the who took part in eating contests and three legged races and tiddly winks down the Abbey steps

Barnsley lads such as John Langley and Gordon Riley were the worlds worst three legged races (fit lads but legs not same length!) and John's tiddly winking summat to behold!
