Visits to the Camp were made by the Mayor, Chairman, Councillors
Fitt and Chaplin and Mrs. Sharp, and by the Town Clerk,
the Director of Education and the Assistant Director.
The organisation and arrangements for these Camps appear to
be most satisfactory in every way, while the Island, with its wonderful
scenery and historical associations, its journey to and fro by
rail, sea and car, is undoubtedly the finest camping ground for
the children whose privilege it was to attend.
