28. QUOITS quoits (0. Fr. coiter, quoiter, to incite), a pastime resembling the ancient discusthrowing which formed one of the five games of the Greek pentathlo. quoits. http://27.1911encyclopedia.org/Q/QU/QUOITS.htm

QUOITS QUOITS Scotland, Lancashire and the Midlands are the principal centres of quoiting in Great Britain. In Scotland the game is patronized by the Curling Clubs, and this is also the case in the United States and Canada. Billy Hodson was champion of Great Britain in the middle of the i9th century, and his trip to America in the early sixties is of historical interest, as it resulted in two contests for the championship of the world with James McLaren of Newark, N. J., a native of Scotland, who was champion of America. One hard-fought match was won by each, the deciding one remaining unplayed. The championship of America is rewarded by the Bell Medal, presented by the Grand National Curling Club of America. QUOINS QUORUM

Quoits - A Background Background The game of Quoits is ancient, and no-one can possibly know for sure how, when or why it began. So, in the absence of any specific evidence, speculation rules. In the north east of England, many of today's players believe that their game originated in the Olympiads of Ancient Greece, as an early form of discus throwing. From Greece, they say, it travelled to Rome and from there reached these shores at the time of the Roman Conquest. At this point, it is claimed, an interesting form of class distinction emerged – the officers played with specially-made, bronze quoits, while the troops, whose take-home pay did not run to such luxury, made do with discarded horseshoes. A case of putting the quoit before the horse, one might say. Another theory which I am fond of, but cannot prove, assumes that, having invented footwear for the horse, man did not rest content, but soon adapted the shoes for his own impractical purposes, and began throwing them at a pin, stake or hook, for recreation and amusement. The game of Horseshoes could have been brought here by invaders or settlers from Jutland or the Low Countries – a suggestion backed up by the fact that the Boers in South Africa and Dutch settlers in America and Canada still play it. Horseshoes, then according to this story, came first and the developed an offshoot called Quoits. At the Dunnottar Quoiting Club near Stonehaven, in Scotland, some of the members subscribe to yet another story, Quoits, they say, was invented by James IV, who encouraged his soldiers to relax and pass the time before major battles by throwing horseshoes at an iron pin stuck in the ground.

HORSESHOES AND QUOITS Horseshoes Even before the Romans built their hard roads, horse shoes of iron were used in England. By 1356 a fellowship of farriers had been formed in the city of London. The Worshipful Company of Farriers charter dates from 1674, by 1692 it had become a livery company of the City of London. To see more than 500 years of horseshoes visit the beautiful 12th century Great Hall of Oakham Castle, where 200 shoes recall the unique demand made by the Lord of the Manor that each peer of the realm must forfeit a horseshoe on first visiting Oakham in Rutland. See more about Horseshoes on-line or read Shire album 19 "Old Horseshoes" by Ivan G. Sparkes (Shire, 1979) Quoits In the USA the game of throwing the horseshoe to catch on a pin in the ground is still played. Some argue that the game of Quoits, which persists in England, started from this pastime others argue it has a deeper history emerging from discus throwing, with horseshoes as a vulgar cousin. In England perhaps for a thousand years around mining communities, metal rings have been thrown down a pitch to encircle a pin or hob embedded in soft clay.

Quoits at Beck Hole Home Village History Map of Village Birch Hall Inn ... The Worm Wild Thing The Beckhole.Quoit Club is arguably the most famous Quoit Club in England, mainly due to a BBC TV documentary entitled ' Big Day at Beck Hole ' which featured some of the present day players at work and play in 1986. Records show that the pitches in Beck Hole were in their present position in the year 1882. They were most likely laid by the landlord of the then Lord Nelson Inn for the entertainment of his customers and the workmen engaged in the construction of Randymere Reservoir. The Lord Nelson Inn was the headquarters of the club until it was closed in 1940 when it transferred to it's current base at the Birch Hall Inn. The team take part in two local leagues during the summer, with matches played each Monday and Thursday evening. Each team in the league hosts an Open Individual Championship on successive Saturdays throughout the season, when play begins at lunchtime and continues ( .with a mid afternoon break for tea of course..) until one player emerges victorious at the end of the day !
