| Description: | Men herd cattle through an archway. C/U of some of the cows - there are several different breeds. Horses are led past the camera. Fortef provide sporting facilities for the health and moral of their staff. Top shot of a group of men preparing for a cycle race. The competitors set off and we see them cycling through the streets. A man does gymnastics on the parallel bars, rings and high bar. Acrobatics - one man lifts another on to his hands so that he holds him upside down in the air. The cyclists arrive at the finishing line. We see the winners - one has a bunch of flowers on his handlebars - he kisses a young girl. We see the team of fire-fighters in action as some scrub land is on fire. A man on a motorbike and several firemen on the back of an antiquated fire truck leave the fire station. They arrive at the scene of the fire and work to extinguish it. | |
