Hi Terry I enjoyed your post of the 14th May which brought back some nice memories from my once only visit to School Camp back in 1949. I do remember taking a bike with me, by train, as mentioned, which enabled me to travel to Gatehouse for a cricket match with 'the locals'. I remember not having a chance to bat in the game, although I did take the last 3 wickets for very few runs, bowling some assorted leg-breaks and winning the game quite easily. I don't recall a game with the Kirky local team; might have been due to the weather conditions.
I do not recall taking part in any beach activities or for that matter, the fact that there was a beach 'across the road'. Might well have been 'out of bounds' at that time, for some reason. We seemed to play an awful lot of volley-ball during the periods of dry weather which we had, playing the game until we were all utterly exhausted.
Money-wise, I recall taking with me a ten shilling note a few bits of loose change which lasted for the whole of the two weeks holiday. Money went a long way in those days.
The Camp Concert was a good bit of fun with Eric Pickering and another 6th former doing a pretty good job singing 'The Bold Gendarmes', which received a great round of applause.
