One of the highlights of the very first Saturday of the festival was the County Athletics Championships at Lingham Park, Moreton. If didn't attract a very big crowd, but it was fine athletics.
The local hero most remembered was J. W. (Johnnie Jones) who won the junior mile with a great finish to beat his more experienced rivals.
