The boys were taken on visits to the site of the battle of Naseby, were themselves visited by police dog handlers and, somewhat in keeping with their trip along the county’s waterways, the play group were shown films from the Royal Navy.
Pictured with the crew of 12 children are Ian Fraser (left), the further education organiser; Dave Philips, the skipper; and Joy Hurley, one of the Summer Adventure organisers.
