Re: School sports days.
I loved both gym and sports. Not quite good enough for school rugby but enjoyed 2nd string as a hooker would you believe. I did run X-country for the school though.Our gym teacher,and also my house master,was one of the few decent teachers around. He knew not every boy could shin up a rope and then hang upside down-the `larger boys` were much better at shot put(I could hardly lift it yet alone throw it for a long way)

Did you wear a jumper vaulting and clambering up the ropes

Re: School sports days.
Loved all sports, but sadly didn't really excel in any off them, till I got older.Sports day was my favourite, excelling in cross country running.
But leaving school I played football well into married life, till injury put paid to that, so I took the FA course for referees and r
refereed for a few years, till once again my knees gave in.
I had a couple of replacements and once again had a go at badminton for a few years, and it was only last year I played my last game of table tennis, and I am still able to play now, but I don't get the chance.
Anyone for crown green bowling?

Re: School sports days.
I hated sports and P.E. it was embarrassing and our teacher loved to humiliate. The only sport I slightly enjoyed was tennis. I would quite fancy croquet now!My two older girls' school asked for parents ideas to get girls to exercise, I suggested aerobics, they tried it and the girls loved it!
