We didn't notice a lot of children throwing frisbees, but children at a few schools were having fun with them. They were one of a range of items popular with the children. It seemed rather a new item in the 1970s.

Frisbees

The sport of throwing the frisbee is growing very popular among the boys and whenever you step onto the nets lawn a frisbee usually whizzes by your head so you have to duck down. How to hold the frisbee is very important. It is about nine inches wide, is round disc shaped. and the sides are curved into a smooth rim. You hold the rim and with a flick of the wrist your frisbee should be sent spinning across the lawn onto someome's head and it will be thrown a long way away by an irate Bramcote schoolboy.
