By the kindness of the Rotary Club 2 girls and 2 boys in
this total were afforded a fortnight's holiday each.
Thus 27 children in all enjoyed a holiday at the Hostel at
Bexhill during the summer season 1933.
In addition, two girls and one boy, all three children in a
very poor general condition were sent by the Education Committee
to the Bexhill Hostel during the winter, the girls for periods of
6 weeks and the boy for a period of 3 months. All the children put
on considerable weight and improved very much in general health .
