This film captures the fun and festivities of a pram race in Horsforth, 1967.  It includes footage of the teams racing to the pub as well as spectators gathered for the event.   Locals gather outside the Old Bull and Grey Horse pubs.  There is a flyer in a car window:  Old Modernians RUFC Pram Race Sunday 21 May noon Horsforth Town Street.  Men are dressed up in women’s clothes for the race, and pints of beer are set out on a table.  The race gets underway with one man pushing another in a pram.  It seems some of the contestants swap teammates along the way.  A crowd of onlookers is gathered outside the Grey Horse pub, and the participants stop for a beer.  It’s unclear if this is the end of the race or just a checkpoint.  One of the contestants has a Union Jack inspired shirt which says, “I’m Backing Britain.”
