661 SKATING ON BURGHLEY LAKE
Stamford  c 1932
3.25 min  B/W  9.5mm  Silent
An ice-hockey match, followed by skaters of all ages displaying everything from perilous incompetence to seemingly effortless skill.  First Prize undoubtedly goes to the father seen towing his four-year old daughter behind him in a wooden crate.

662  FISHING DAYS
Stamford area  c 1932
7.25 min  B/W  9.5mm  Silent
Enthusiastic fishermen (and women) filmed informally at various locations, mostly on the River Gwash.  Their success rate seems enviably high, with even a novice three-year-old reeling them in.
