THE NORTH RIDING PROJECT

Quoits still figures in the programmes of a few local shows and sports.  Once it was played often in the inn yards by enthusiasts night after night throughout the summer, except in hay-time.  A set of quoits used to be kept on most farms or failing that the game was played with horseshoes.

It will be a dull individual indeed whose interest does not quicken when he sees the heavy iron quoit curl through the air, to be followed by the robust clang of metal on metal and the eager cries of the quoiters and their supporters as they gather around the pin.
