It Was A Dream Come True For 300

A day trip to Belle Vue Circus, gifts of chocolate, sweets, ice cream, orange juice and a shiny new Churchill crown. It was a dream come true for 300 children, aged 8 to 11, who were sons and daughters of Prestige Ltd employees. The trip to the circus with all the trimmings, was the annual Christmas treat. It took 7 coaches to make the trip to Manchester, with a nurse in a car following, just in case some were not good travellers.
