The Cooper's Hill Cheese-Rolling and Wake is an annual event held on the Spring Bank Holiday at Cooper's Hill, near Gloucester in England. It was traditionally partaken by and for the people who live in the local village of Brockworth, Gloucestershire, but now people from all over the world take part. The Guardian newspaper called it a "world-famous event", with winners from the United States, Australia, New Zealand, and Nepal.
The event is traditional, and takes its name from the steep hill on which it occurs. Until recent years, it was managed in a quasi-official manner by nominated locals, but since 2010, the event has taken place spontaneously without any management.
The Master of Ceremonies (MC) holding the cheeseFrom the top of the hill, a 9 pounds (4.1 kilograms) round of Double Gloucester cheese is sent rolling down the hill, and competitors then start racing down the hill after it. The first person over the finish line at the bottom of the hill wins the cheese. In theory, competitors are aiming to catch the cheese; however, it has around a one-second head start, and can reach speeds up to 70 miles per hour (110 kilometres per hour), enough to knock over and injure a spectator. In the 2013 competition, a foam replica replaced the cheese for reasons of safety. The winner was given the prize of an actual cheese after the competition.
The Cheese Rollers pub in the nearby village of Shurdington, about 3 miles (5 kilometres) from Cooper's Hill, takes its name from the event. The nearest pubs to the event are The Cross Hands and The Victoria, both of which are in Brockworth, which competitors frequent for some pre-event Dutch courage or discussion of tactics, and after the event for convalescence.
History
This ceremony originally took place each Whit Monday, before it later transferred to the Spring Bank Holiday. Two possible origins have been proposed for the ceremony. The first is said that it evolved from a requirement for maintaining grazing rights on the common.
The second proposal is pagan origins for the custom of rolling objects down the hill. It is thought that bundles of burning brushwood were rolled down the hill to represent the birth of the New Year after winter. Connected with this belief is the traditional scattering of buns, biscuits and sweets at the top of the hill by the Master of Ceremonies. This is said to be a fertility rite to encourage the fruits of harvest.
Each year, the event becomes more and more popular, with contestants coming from all across the world to compete, or even simply to watch. In 1993, fifteen people were injured, four seriously, chasing cheeses down the one-in-three hill.
On 24 March 2010, the organisers faced a backlash following an announcement of how the 2011 event would be run. The plans had been made to conduct the event under mounting pressure from the local council, who stipulated it should include security, perimeter fencing to allow crowd control, and spectator areas that would charge an entrance fee. The event proceeded without management.
"No-one's going to stop us doing it. They say it's not official, but we are all Brockworth people, and we're running the cheese today, so it is official. We strongly believe in it."
— Former winner Helen Thorpe in May 2011.Richard Jefferies commented:
"Since we announced an entry fee, we have been bombarded with so much hostility and criticism, much of it at a personal level, including accusations of profiteering, and some of the committee have even received threats."
— Cheese Rolling Committee spokesman Richard Jefferies speaking in March 2011.The 2011 event took place without management, due to safety concerns over the number of people visiting the event, resulting in the 'Save the Cheese Roll' campaign. Despite the cancellation and lack of paramedics, around 500 people showed up in 2011 to hold some spontaneous races; no major injuries were reported.
A view down Cooper's Hill, from the start point of the race to the finish (where the dog-walkers are). The face of the hill itself is concave, and hence cannot be seen from this angle. The posts at the bottom are signs from the local council requesting that, to avoid soil erosion, people do not walk on the face of the hill. The posts are removed for the annual event.The cheese
The cheese currently used in the event is 7–9 pounds (3.2–4.1 kilograms) Double Gloucester, a hard cheese traditionally made in a circular shape. Each is protected for the rolling by a wooden casing round the side, and is decorated with ribbons at the start of the race. Formerly, three cheeses were presented by parishioners, and the cheeses were usually rolled by them. A collection is usually made now to purchase them, as well as sweets, and also to provide prize money. The current supplier is local cheesemaker Diana Smart and her son Rod, who have supplied the cheese since 1988.
In May 2013, a police inspector warned the 86-year-old cheese maker Diana Smart that she could be held responsible for injuries. Chief Superintendent Nigel Avron of Gloucestershire Police also made these comments: "If you are an organiser in some way or some capacity you could potentially be held liable for something that took place at that event".
Injuries
Due to the steepness and uneven surface of Cooper's Hill, there are usually a number of injuries each year. A first aid service is provided by the local St John Ambulance (Gloucester, Cheltenham, and Stroud Divisions) at the bottom of the hill. Members of the local rugby club and Young Farmers volunteer their services by acting as 'catchers' for any participants who lose their balance, and also are on hand to carry down any casualties requiring first aid who do not reach the bottom. A number of ambulance vehicles attend the event, since there is invariably at least one, and often several injuries requiring hospital treatment. As the event has evolved, an additional on-site professional medical cover is provided by another group of volunteers; 'Search And Rescue Aid In Disaster' (SARAID).
Cooper's Hill Cheese Rolling has been summarised by a previous participant as "twenty young men chasing a cheese off a cliff and tumbling 200 yards to the bottom, where they are scraped up by paramedics and packed off to hospital". This quotation was reported The Sydney Morning Herald newspaper of 13 November 2008, in an amusingly titled article 'Return to edam'. The same article reports an antipodean competitor being prodded in the ribs and quizzed at the top of the hill by a Scottish fellow competitor if his "travel insurance cover[s] this"? The visitor from 'down under', Sam Vincent, "questions his sanity", as he is "crouched on the summit of a diabolical slope", alongside thirteen other competitors whilst they are "awaiting the call to start what is surely the world's most dangerous footrace".
The notoriety of cheese rolling is widespread, and its somewhat de facto tally of annual injuries has not only been the subject of many column inches from home and abroad, Cooper's Hill festivities have also been featured on many global television programmes. Alongside reputable broadcasters such as the BBC Television reporting, the global sports magazine TV shows Gillette World Sport and Trans World Sport have both mused at the barmy activities, and the ensuing injuries for many years.
Tiếng Việt:Các Hill Cheese-cán và Wake của Cooper là một sự kiện thường niên được tổ chức vào Ngân hàng Spring Holiday tại Đồi Cooper , gần Gloucester ở Anh . Đó là truyền thống của những người sống trong làng Brockworth, Gloucestershire , nhưng bây giờ mọi người từ khắp nơi trên thế giới tham gia. Báo Guardian gọi đó là "sự kiện nổi tiếng thế giới", với những người chiến thắng từ Hoa Kỳ, Úc, New Zealand và Nepal.
Sự kiện này là truyền thống, và lấy tên của nó từ những ngọn đồi dốc mà nó xảy ra. Cho đến những năm gần đây, nó được quản lý theo kiểu bán chính thức bởi những người dân địa phương được chỉ định, nhưng từ năm 2010 , sự kiện đã diễn ra tự phát mà không có sự quản lý nào.
Các buổi lễ (MC) giữ pho mátTừ đỉnh đồi, một chiếc pho mát Double Gloucester 9 pounds (4,1 kg ) được gửi đi lăn xuống đồi, và các đối thủ cạnh tranh sau đó bắt đầu chạy đua xuống đồi. Người đầu tiên vượt qua đường kết thúc ở đáy của ngọn đồi thắng pho mát. Về lý thuyết, các đối thủ cạnh tranh đang hướng tới bắt được pho mát; Tuy nhiên, nó có khoảng một giây khởi đầu , và có thể đạt tốc độ lên đến 70 dặm một giờ (110 km một giờ ), đủ để gõ trên và làm bị thương một khán giả. Trong cuộc thi năm 2013, một bản sao bọt thay thế pho mát vì lý do an toàn . Người chiến thắng đã được trao giải thưởng của một pho mát thực sự sau khi cạnh tranh.
Các Rollers Cheese PUB ở làng lân cận Shurdington , khoảng 3 dặm (5 km ) từ Hill Cooper, lấy tên từ sự kiện này. Các quán rượu gần đó nhất là The Cross Hands và The Victoria, cả hai đều nằm ở Brockworth, nơi mà các đối thủ cạnh tranh thường xuyên tham gia vào một số sự kiện trọng đại của Hà Lan hoặc thảo luận về chiến thuật, và sau sự kiện tái hồi phục .
