House of Lords vs. House of Commons Tug of War Event
House of Lords vs. House of Commons Tug of War
Location: College Garden, Westminster Abbey
Date: Tuesday 8th June 2010
Time: 5.30 - 10 p.m.
The House of Lords vs. House of Commons Tug of War is now running for it’s 23rd year. It is a unique event attracting an eclectic audience keen to play witness to Lords and MPs battling it out over a Tug of War rope, which in 2009 raised an amazing £98,000 for Macmillan Cancer Support.
Last year the MPs were back with an attempt to retain their title and increase their winning streak for a ninth consecutive year, unfortunately for them new Lords' Captain, Lord Bilimoria, had a different idea, leading his team to a fantastic victory. For more details on last years event please find an article as published by The Independent.
Throughout the event guests are also kept entertained by a build up of matches including military teams, sponsors’ matches and even our very own Macmillan Ladies’ team vs. Houses of Parliament Women. The event this year is being held on Tuesday 8th June 2010 in the stunning setting of Westminster Abbey’s College Gardens, with plenty of champagne and canapés to set the scene for a perfect summer’s evening.
