Soccer Thongs For East Europe

Last week's charity football match between a Thong Society 11 versus as team of Thong manufacturers ended with a 2-0 scoreline for our team. We'd like to congratulate the team and captain Dennis Murray, who scored the first goal and set up the second.

'This proves that the thong is as good as an atheletic support when worn correctly,' he told reporters for the Evening Standard, which ran a feature of the event in today's edition.

The football match was in aid of relief for the oldest manufacturer of thongs in East Europe, whose warehouse was recently destroyed in a fire. As guardian of the thong and g-string industry, the Society is forwarding £2,300 to the company as part of an aid package.

Our Founder

Sir Henry Peel was one of the greatest minds of the late Victorian age. He was an explorer, discovering some of the remotest tribes of South America, and travelled widely in the East, including China and Japan where he was one of the earliest Europeans to adopt the wearing of the fundoshi.

Returning to England, Sir Henry became a philanthropist, eventually setting up The British Thong Society.

His death in 1927 was one of the widely reported events of the decade. Each year at the small family church in Knots End, Surrey, members of the British Thong Society lay a commemorative thong on his grave to mark the very great things Sir Henry achieved and our abiding loyalty to his legacy.
