Gay Sports Day
From LGBT Archive
The Gay Sports Day is an annual light-hearted sports event in Vauxhall, held in the Vauxhall Pleasure Gardens, behind the Royal Vauxhall Tavern on August Bank Holiday. The event dates back to the 1980s,[1] but from 2007 onwards it has been organised by the RVT together with the gay men's health charity, GMFA.
The sports are a competition between teams of five players, in a variety of events, including:
- tug of war
- throwing the handbag
- drag relay
- spacehopper relay
- egg and spoon race
- 50 metre mince
- sack race
- rhythmic gymnastics.
