Tug O’ War

This image has caused some discussion! Terry Clarke identifies the place as ”Ben Scott’s playing field” on North Road, Loftus; with Clive (Sam) Simpson encouraging the team. The team is identified as The Jets (later known as Carlin How Jubilee Boomers and then Sam’s Triers). Tom Webster advises: ”This dates from the late 80′s, early 90′s and was part of a Loftus Fun Day organised by The Civic Trust/Loftus Development Trust and others. Two of the organisers Alan Caldwell and Jane Taylor, from the Loftus Civic Trust are seated on the grass.”
