We, the undersigned, petition the Prime Minister to create an initiative to create ‘country’ activities within urban areas to unite and solidify urbanites.
In the country are fantastic events organised on an annual basis which should be ported to the major urban areas within the UK - to further unite and create community spirit. The types of events that I grew up with in the country were Belton Barrow race and the Haxey Hood (please feel free to google). The barrow race consisted of a 3 mile run pushing a wheel barrow with your team mate in it then swopping over at intervals - and stopping at a range of pubs to drink a pint very quickly. The Haxey Hood was also a similar event - but more rugby style and consisting of pushing the Hood to a pub. Its what our country needs and was something the people really looked forward to - great family fun.
