I don't think schoold went in so much for trips when I was at school, or if they did, I didn't get to go on them. In the Primary school I went on two, to the Festival of Britain exhibition, and to Windsor (must have gone to the castle but all i remember is a river trip and the fact that my bottle of drink leaked! High school the only trip I went on was to Haringay to see Billy Graham the American Evangelist. Sunday school we used to have an outing every year, always as far as I remember to Lyndhurst in the New forest. Ann Glos
