This is part of the collection of films made by Sheffield teacher William Gordon Gregory.  It shows an athletics and cycle racing event of the CCPCC. The film begins showing a crowd watching a cycling race.  Behind the spectators, with the children sitting on the floor, there is a caravan with ‘Mellors’ written on it.  Along from there is a corrugated fence with ‘Gents’ written on it.  The camera goes around the circuit stopping to film each part of the crowd, some of whom being either stood or seated behind a rail.  Behind the spectators are trees, then fields, a stand, and possibly a school building. Some of the spectators are making notes on their racing programmes.  Every so often there is a Red Cross worker.  Next there are several men’s sprint races, followed by cycle races, with the judges looking on.  Then there is a men’s middle distance running race, with the cyclists resting with their bikes in the middle of the track. The athletes and cyclists are each wearing their club vests.  Then there is a number of cycling races, both men and women racing.  One woman cyclist, possibly the winner, and a male club mate, are shown close up.  This is followed by another running sprint race, again showing the winner close up.  Then there is another cycling race, with the camera following the cyclists around the track.  Again the winner poses for the camera, and again the camera goes around filming sections of the crowd.  There is another cycle race, followed by several sprint races, showing the winner again. There is then a walking race, another middle distance running race and another cycle race. The film then shows some of the organisers of the event posing for the camera, and the film closes showing a flag with CCPCC written on it.
