A rare photograph of ‘The Freewheelers’ aka Gladys Snorter, Bunty Pilchard, Elsie Potter and Alice Peak Freen, relaxing in the saddle after winning the Lucy Taffeta Cup - that most coveted Poetry Marathon Prize - for writing 500 stanzas of romantic light verse in under two hours at the Isle of Wight Festival in 1953.
