| Data | “Pie-ball” was among the amusements offered at the annual gala picnic of the friends of the Young Men's Temperance Association of Gosforth, Northumberland, which at the time was a suburban area of Newcastle. “For the entertainment of this vast host, a great number of varied means of amusement were provided. In one part of the grounds Aunt Sally reared her venerable but much-abused head; in another, archery and rifle-tunnels were the chief attractions; whilst quoit, crickets (sic), and pie-ball all found their ardent supporters. The green sward was covered with groups of young folks, either footing it merrily to strains of a violin, or engaged in the favoured sports of tarzey, and kiss-in-the-ring.” |
