Framlingham  Gala  1955

Perhaps a twisted logic can be seen in the Married Ladies Skipping Race (VALUE OF PRIZES 10/- 7/6 5/-) but why did gents have to be married to enter the 100 yards handicap?  The Dagenham Girl Pipers were the visiting celebrities and Miss Phillipa Hare of Yoxford was Gala Queen.  (Later in the year Ms Hare presented the bouquet to the Queen Mother on the Market Hill.)  WHO WANTS A 3-SPEED CYCLE (value £18)?  And the same twisted logic may explain why single ladies were allowed a sack race, but then the married ladies had one too?
