Informations supplémentaires

Picture by Jim Holden 2009. The Greyhound public house in Tinsley Green near Crawley, West Sussex, has hosted the British and World Marble Championships since the game's revival in the early 1930s. Popular in Sussex villages but originates from the Romans. Played on a ring approx 6 feet in diameter raised three inches on the ground covered in sharp sand. The object of the game for players is to use a tolley (a larger ceramic or glass ball/sphere) and to shoot at smaller marbles in the ring. Points are won and lost as marbles and tolleys are made to fly from the ring. The competition is held on Good Friday as a knockout contest with teams appearing from all over the world seeking the title of champion.
