A series of three programmes
It was hot, dry, one for the record books. But there are other things to remember too.
The Fun of the Fair
Reporter Jeanne la Chard
Joe Weston-Webb , Old Harrovian, is in the fairground business. He spent last summer attempting to set up his most ambitious show to date. Helping Joe was Mary Con nors, leading lady in Joe's all-girl team of motor-cycle stunt girls, the MOTOBIRDS.
For all the Motobirds there were bruises, sprains and fractured bones as they practised jumping over cars, through plate-glass windows, burning hoops. And for Joe there were the financial headaches. When the show was finally assembled at Tewkesbury, he waited to see if he would make, or lose, a fortune.
