July 1990 (Great Sporting Injustices)

(I usually set these to publish at 5am-ish but I'm going for midnight tonight to catch that "can't sleep in this heat" crowd). Have you been to a sports day this year? And if not, was that because it was too hot or too cold? Can go either way. On today's episode we talk about the era in which sports days did happen - for better or worse. Esyllt recalls her disastrous sports day of July 1990 - and then, like an episode of BBC World Service's Sporting Witness, she returns to the scene - having attended her primary school's 150th anniversary do.Fancy becoming part of the Three Legged Race Governing Body?

Gareth (me) doesn't have another podcast, but would like you to come and see his show Cyril in Edinburgh if you're about and he's (me, still) also doing Work In Progresses on 14 July in Cardiff (although this may have sold out) and one in Bath on 30 July.Theme music by Alex_Kizenkov from Pixabay.I'm So Not Over It is a Mighty Bunny Production.Tickets are now on sale for Gareth Gwynn's show Cyril at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.
