Loughborough Monitor - 15th October 1971

Quorn youngsters spontaneously took over the mighty tug-of-war rope at the Farnham estate on Sunday, after watching the sweat and toil of eight teams from all over the county. Unlike the 'professionals', most of the children ended up in a heap on the grass.
