POOLEY BRIDGE - Officials at Ullswater sports at Pooley Bridge included 82-year-old Mr. W. B. Fawcett, Sandford, Warcop (and formerly of Elderbeck, Pooley Bridge), who had attended the last 56 meetings and was a former secretary of the sports. There was a surprise in the fell race, with the redoubtable Bill Teasdale, Caldbeck, being beaten into second place by Michael Glen, Bathgate, Scotland, who was primarily a mile runner. George Gelleburn, Catterlen, won the local wrestling, and Geoffrey Wilson, Plumpton, the lightweight class. There were 3,000 spectators.
William married Mary JACKSON. (Mary JACKSON was born about 1877 in ENG and died in Oct 1956 in Orchard House, Sandford, Warcop WES.)
