YLG National Activities II
Summer Outings
In the early days of the YLS, there was a summer outing for members. These always had a theme based on children’s books, libraries and culture.
In 1956 they had a visit to Tonbridge Castle and a talk on Kentish authors. In 1958 some members attended the unveiling of the Nesbit Memorial in St Mary in the Marsh Church in Kent and there was also an outing to visit Eton College and its libraries. 1959 saw members visit Reading with the SLA for a tour of Kenneth Grahame country and an evening speaker. In1960 they visited Wansfell College, Theydon Bois, with a talk on Beatrix Potter and a tour of Epping Forrest.
