EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph from the Mary Evans Picture Library/The Pete Frost Collection, six intrepid women engage in a lighthearted and unconventional competition at the Essex Motor Club Annual Gymkhana, held in the picturesque setting of High Beach in Epping Forest, Essex, around 1911. The Chicken Stealing Competition, an amusing event that added an element of excitement and merriment to the day, challenged the participants to outwit each other and make off with a chicken, which was placed on a pedestal at the start of the course. The women, dressed in their finest hats and bonnets, display a range of emotions as they approach the pedestal, from determined focus to playful excitement. One woman wears a large sun hat, shielding her from the sun, while another dons a stylish bonnet adorned with flowers. The women's faces are filled with smiles and laughter, showcasing the joy and camaraderie of the event. The Essex Motor Club Annual Gymkhana was a popular gathering for motoring enthusiasts and their families, offering a variety of competitions and activities. The Chicken Stealing Competition added an unexpected twist to the day, providing an opportunity for the women to show off their agility, quick thinking, and sense of humor. The photograph captures a moment of pure fun and delight, offering a glimpse into the past and the spirit of community and enjoyment that defined events like the Essex Motor Club Annual Gymkhana.
