Tennis Courts. These have been fully booked and the need
for extended facilities is still apparent.
Cricket. The second cricket pitch at Oakley field inaugurated
last year, has been well used and appreciated. Other
pitches have been in full use throughout the summer.
Netball. Bookings for Netball matches for Youth Clubs
have been steady throughout the good weather.
Cycling, Walking and Youth Hostelling offer wonderful
opportunities in this area. Organised runs and outings are part
of the programme of most of the Clubs during the summer
months.
7. Conclusion.
The schools are maintaining good progress in Physical
Education, although the cessation of supplies of clothing and
shoes is necessarily marring the work to some extent, in spite of
the efforts of Head Teachers to encourage parents to make full
provision of kit for their children.
However, judging from the numbers of spectators who attend
School Sports and Open Days, there is an increasing parental
interest in the physical work of the children.
The Advisers wish to record their appreciation of the support
of the Borough Education Officer and his staff and of the cooperation
of the Heads and Assistant Teachers in the Schools."
