The event, which began as part of the post-war Festival of Britain in 1951, has attracted controversy from the start first for shocking audiences with its bikini-clad contestants, and later for what its critics say is its outdated attitude and exploitation of women.

Otley couldn t build on their impressive fun in the Aire-Wharfe Cricket League this weekend ADDINGHAM produced a performance as scorching as the weather to deny Otley a seventh successive win in Division One of the Aire-Wharfe League on Saturday. Otley skipper George Huntley led from the front, reaching his highest individual league score with a fantastic 129 not out to help his side to 225-7, Rob Ellis (3-65) and Richard Atkins (2-66) doing the damage with the ball. However, Addingham had a century of their own, with opener Robbie Miller scoring eight fours and four sixes in an unbeaten 102, backed up by John Johnson (81) in a 145-run partnership for the second wicket, to see them to victory in the penultimate over.
