Description

A compilation of scenes taken from (or perhaps did not make the cut) other films made by Warrington Cine Society. Includes footage of the boys of St. George's Home for Boys which was run by the Waif and Strays society. The boys and staff were evacuated to Pont-y-Pant in North Wales in 1939. Also includes footage from their annual summer camp in Lledr Valley. The reel ends with footage of the 1937 Empire Air Day.
