What is 'Potted Sports Day?'

"Potted sports started in about 1950 as a fundraiser for charity. It was a collection of silly sports such a cycle race riding backwards, flipping paper frogs with exercise books in a race, egg and spoon, sack jumping and so on. Entry was one penny per race.

It was called Potty Sport, soon changed to Potted Sport for obvious reason."

-Mrs Pamela Quin, 

Former Headmistress
