The regular schooi buses r&n throughout the outlying districts to convey pupils and parents into town, from where a fleet of buses took them to the beach, the first buses leaving at about 9 a.m. The committee handling arrangements had everything attended to and all tran'sport problems were overcome before they started. Once at the beach everything was done to give the chidren a happy time. Ice creams and sweets were popular with the children and a sports meeting helped"add to the entertainnient of both yongsters and parents.
