When Graham McArthur rang me on Tuesday night 7thJune to help out on the Kids Out trip the next day, after saying ‘yes’, I didn’t really know what to expect.
However he picked me up on Wednesday morning at 8 am and we went down to Clarkson’s to pick up the buses. We met up with Brian Boyd from our Club and Alf Hadley and Shaun Lancaster from the Barrow Club. We then set off to pick up the kids from seven Barrow Schools, with two teachers in attendance to keep order.
I was surprised how well behaved the children were, considering the full and exciting day in front of them & we set off for the Lakeland Motor Museum at Backbarrow.
Arriving there the children had a really good look round, asking lots of questions & admiring all the old cars, motorbikes and push bikes.
