EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from July 1946, we are transported back in time to witness a thrilling moment at the Hereford Young Farmers Rally at Garnons, Byford. A group of determined ladies form a tug-of-war team, ready to showcase their strength and spirit. With gritted teeth and hands tightly gripping the rope, they exude an air of fierce competition. Surrounded by eager spectators, both young and old, the atmosphere is charged with excitement as everyone eagerly awaits the outcome of this intense contest. The energy in the air is palpable as cheers fill the countryside. This snapshot perfectly captures not only a moment of friendly rivalry but also serves as a testament to women's empowerment during that era. These girls demonstrate that they too possess immense physical prowess and can compete alongside their male counterparts. Beyond just being a display of strength and skill, this event radiates pure fun. Laughter can be heard amidst shouts of encouragement from friends and family alike. It is evident that these women have come together not only for competition but also for camaraderie. Preserved within the George Garland Collection at West Sussex Record Office Ref. , this photograph immortalizes an unforgettable day where determination met entertainment on those hallowed grounds in Byford.
