EDITORS COMMENTS
A moment frozen in time, this print captures the excitement and joy of the potato and spoon race at Holme Valley Sunday Schools sports day. With their eyes focused intently on their spoons, these four young competitors showcase both a steady hand and a keen eye as they navigate through the thrilling challenge. Taken on 1st August 1985, this event marked the second edition of its kind, attracting around 30 enthusiastic children to partake in various races and competitions. Alongside the classic three-legged and backwards races, participants were treated to a delightful picnic at the picturesque Sands recreation area in Holmfirth. In an era defined by innocence and simplicity, this image transports us back to a time when school sports days were eagerly anticipated events that brought together friends, families, and communities. The determination etched on Holly Scrimshaw's face mirrors Sarah Bell's focus while Ryan Morrie maintains his composure with utmost concentration. Edward Williams exudes sheer determination as he strives for victory. This nostalgic glimpse into past childhood memories reminds us of the importance of friendly competition, outdoor activities, and shared moments of laughter amidst nature's beauty. As we admire this timeless photograph from Memory Lane Prints' collection without any commercial intent or mention thereof - let it serve as a reminder that sometimes all we need is a simple game with potatoes and spoons to create lasting memories.
