EDITORS COMMENTS
Captured in this nostalgic print from 1972, we witness the thrilling Tug of War Competition across the River Great Ouse, also known as Old West River, in Stretham, Cambridgeshire. On a sunny Sunday afternoon on October 1st, men from the Chequers Public House bravely faced off against the formidable Witcham Tollites squad – one of East Anglia's most esteemed tug-of-war teams. This annual charity match was not only a test of strength and determination but also an opportunity to raise funds for the Stretham Youth Club. The atmosphere was electric as spectators gathered along the riverbank to cheer on their favorite team and support a worthy cause. As ropes strained and muscles flexed under the intense competition, these dedicated individuals showcased both physical prowess and unwavering camaraderie. With every pull and heave, they embodied timeless traditions that have been passed down through generations. The picturesque backdrop of Ely Ouse added an enchanting touch to this outdoor event. Against its tranquil waters, these men battled with all their might – united by a shared passion for friendly rivalry and community spirit. Decades later, this image serves as a testament to the enduring power of sportsmanship and charitable endeavors.
