Waterski Championships and Other Sports

Exotic sporting events from water-skiing to wheel barrow racing are just two of the highlights of this amateur newsreel film.

This compilation of local events around Harrow and Hillingdon in 1968 includes an international water-skiing event held at Ruislip Lido, where we see competitors from Britain, Australia and Italy; sailing on Brent Reservoir and madcap wheelbarrow racing around the streets of Pinner for charity.
