The children travelled by coach the morning of Tuesday 1^st November and spent two nights and three days at the farm, returning home on Thursday 3^rd November in the afternoon. All activities, bed and board were subsidised with costs incurred to parents being only for the transport to and from the farm, £62 per child.
