EDITORS COMMENTS
This delightful print captures the sheer joy and excitement of a sack race at a junior school in Chichester back on 9th July 1965. The image, part of the esteemed Chichester Photographic Collection held by the West Sussex Record Office, exudes an unmistakable sense of summer fun and childhood happiness. In this snapshot frozen in time, we see a group of children eagerly participating in this classic sport. Their beaming smiles are infectious as they hop along with great enthusiasm towards the finish line. The competitive spirit is palpable as each child strives to be crowned the ultimate winner. The backdrop showcases the iconic spire of Chichester Cathedral, adding a touch of local charm to this nostalgic scene. It serves as a reminder that these carefree moments took place within such historic surroundings. Although we cannot determine who crossed that winning tape first from this particular shot, it is evident that all participants were winners in their own right for embracing friendly competition and engaging in healthy outdoor activities during those simpler times. As we gaze upon this photograph today, it evokes feelings of nostalgia for an era when children found pure delight in simple games like sack races. It reminds us to cherish those precious memories filled with laughter and camaraderie while celebrating the timeless joys of youthfulness and summertime bliss.
