Description

Compilation reel of sport and leisure footage: scenes from a cricket match are intercut with groups of people enjoying picnics. At a girls’ school, pupils put on a display of marching and dancing, and there are races for the girls and their parents. Holiday scenes at the coast show family members playing on the beach and in the sea and going out in a rowing boat. In a large garden, children play swingball, skip and do handstands.
