On the 6th August,
1977 Tyldesley Swimming Club arranged a special holiday/training trip for the fastest forty five club members, aged seven
to fourteen years, to visit Birchfield Lodge and Heathersage Swimming Club in Derbyshire's Peak District. For the next twenty
years this became an annual event and the club took as many as seventy two swimmers on visits to such places as Cleethorps
YMCA (three visits); Colomendy Camp, North Wales (six visits); Lancaster University (one visit); Dolfriog Hall North Wales
(four visits); Wydale Hall, Scarborough (three visits); Centre Parcs, Nottingham (two visits), Pontins, Prestatyn (one
visit) and France (one visit). Activities included barbecues, interesting visits and the famous Mavis "Bent" rounders match.
