Description

Footage of schoolboys' sports day events at Old Hall School. The film begins with hurdles and relay races and cups and certificates are distributed. A large group of schoolboys march in file and take part in group exercise routines; after a brief shot of the Brickhill family enjoying a roadside picnic, we see the boys again in an egg and spoon race and doing more exercise routines.
