The Bungalow belonging to the Happy Go Lucky Club (situated
Holland-on-Sea) is always fully booked as a holiday home for
the mentally handicapped child plus the parents. These children
who otherwise would never have been able to have a holiday withembarrassment,
have happy holiday memories, just like their
are fortunate friends, and so the 'workers' who include their
rents, are amply repaid.
Barking Junior Training Centre-Rippleside
The staff of this centre have continued their social activities
with the children throughout the year. These included swimming,
Physical training, and netball matches with other centres and
sits have again been arranged to places of interest.
There were 92 children on the roll of the Centre at the end
1964.
