Organised by Greg Potter – North Essex Centre
greg.potter66@me.com or 01206 502750/07795 176 768
How to play:
Walking Football is a slower paced version of the regular football game, although it more so
resembles 5-a-side football than the 11-a-side game. With that in mind, and in view that the
game is primarily aimed at the over fifty years of age participant however we welcome all ages
to come and have a go. Each aspect of the game should further highlight the decreased speed
of play, and be reflected in the rules that govern the game, with a view to simplification and
unification of ethos and practise.
Walking Football Guidelines:
• Please see football rules these rules are the same rules for rules to the walking football
however you must walk within this game. No jogging, sprinting, running on or off the ball
by any player at any time.
• Players observed to be running off the ball but not directly influencing play or the
outcome of play, or gaining an advantage through their actions may be warned of their
actions by the referee during the course of play without the need to stop play
Continuation of this infringement may result in further disciplinary action.
• A player gaining an advantage of position or influence of play by a running action will be
in breach of the ‘no running rule’ and will have a free kick awarded against that person
and the team that person represents. Persistent further infringements to the ‘no running’
rule by that same person will have further disciplinary measures taken against them
• What constitutes a ‘run?’ - If in the course of making a stride both feet are off the ground.
• One foot must remain on the ground at all times when in motion.
• Power walking is an accepted action in Walking Football.
• Minimal contact is permitted during the course of Walking Football
• Tackling, interception, blocking by standing ground, is an accepted part of the game.
• Tackling from behind where contact is made; ankle-rapping from the sides, clumsy, ill-
timed, forceful tackling is not an acceptable part of play and will be deemed as an
infringement and dealt with by appropriate measures.
• Game open to teams of all ages

Fun Facts
• Constantin Henriquez de Zubiera, competing for in the tug of wa-r for France in 1900, was
the first black athlete to compete at the Olympics.
• A Danish journalist who was covering the games, Edgar Aaybe, was recruited into the
combined Sweden/Denmark tug of war team in 1900 to replace an ill team member, and
went on to win a gold medal.
• The biggest controversy came in 1908 when the Liverpool police team competed in
"enormous shoes, so heavy, in fact, it was with great effort they could lift their feet from the
ground." The rules had stipulated ordinary shoes, and the Americans protested, but to no
avail. The U.S. team subsequently withdrew.
20Petanque
Organised by John and Pearl Forrest - East Kent Centre
forrest_js@btinternet.com
How to play:
• The game is played with six metal Petanque boules (balls). Each player throws three boules.
• Some sets of boules will be available from the umpire.
• Boules will be thrown from a 50cm circle once the start team is decided by the toss of a
coin.
• The boule, when thrown, should rest comfortably in the hand with the fingers and thumb as
• close together as possible and with the palm facing the ground.
• The first thrower throws the Cochonnet (Jack) between 6m and 10m away.
• He/She then throws the first boule trying to place it close to the Cochonnet.
• A player in the other team then tries to throw his boule nearer to the Cochonnet, or knock
away the leading boule. The boule nearest the Cochonnet leads.
• Then it is up to a player in the team not leading to throw until his team gets a leading boule
and so on.
• When a team has no more boules the players of the other team throw theirs and try to
place them as close as possible to the Cochonnet.
• When both teams have no more boules the points are counted. The winning team gets as
many points as it has boules nearer the Cochonnet than the best of the losing team.
• The first team to reach 13 points is the winner of the End. In the first three rounds the
winner will go on to the next round.

22Manoeuvring Competitions
Organised by Paul Featherstone - Devon and Cornwall Centre
janice.featherstone@gmail.com
Caravan manoeuvring has now been around for decades, since caravans were first built and
cars could hold oil in their engines for long enough to pull them! Today it has evolved into a
competitive sport, timed over a designated course. It’s not just about speed; competitions are
intended to test the skill of competitors reversing their outfits, as well as the ability to drive
through a narrow gap. There are two categories in the competition - Standard and Novice.
• Novice: those entering in a National competition for the first time.
• Standard: anybody that has already entered and completed the course of the caravan
manoeuvring competitions at any National before.
Class 1: Women Novice
Class 2: Women Standard
Class 3: Men Novice
Class 4: Men Standard
Harris & Barrett Cup Guidelines:
• Novice classes will be dealt with first, anybody who takes part in the Novice Class may enter
the standard class as well.
• Entrants will be required to provide their own towing vehicle, however the single axle
caravan to be towed will be provided by the Club.
• The caravan will be hitched to your vehicle for you by the marshals of this event.
• A Co-pilot/passenger are welcome in your vehicle.
• If you are entering this competition, please bring your driving licence for the Club’s
insurance purposes.
Further Rules of the competitions will be posted up on the notice boards in the Club Marquee,
if you wish to enter or would like further information please contact the organiser.

23Scottish Ramble
Organised on behalf of the Scottish Division by Fiona Murray – Highland Centre
fiona.murray@homecall.co.uk
As an increasing number of people discover the health benefits of rambling come and take a
walk across some of the beautiful sights of the National event and surrounding countryside.
A common misunderstanding is that rambling clubs are only for the ultra-fit - those who can
keep up a quick pace for miles on end, over rough terrain and whilst carrying a heavy backpack.
The truth is, anybody who can walk can join our Scottish ramble - walk for pleasure in the
countryside.
Ramble Guidelines:
• Dogs are welcome but must be kept on a lead.
• Decent walking footwear is advised as the walk is around 5 miles
• Footpaths are followed where possible, however they sometimes take us through woodland
or fields with cattle or horses in them.
• On registration all participants must declare any health problems that may affect their
ability to finish this ramble.
• The event will have a mass start.
• Participants are responsible for their recognition and understanding of event signage and
out of bounds signs must be adhered to.
How to Enter:
Registration at the time and place specified in the National Daily Programme.
