Description Part of the Wainwright Collection, this film documents a sports day at Shrewsbury School in 1930.
At a sports day, there is a three-legged children's race. This is followed by young women having a race where they have to bite into cakes hanging from strings. There are more races for children and adults including egg-and-spoon, sack races, and piggy-backs. There is also a sprint race in which the servants participate.
