Optimist Yachts in the Sockburn Pool in the Winter of 1985

Winter 1985

We had four Optimist Yachts which were owned by the Council . They were built by the pupils and parents of Ladbrooks School and many schools came to learn sailing for many years. It was an ideal place to learn sailing . Note also we had the water slide going also cold water which no one seemed to mind. We also took them to the Halswell Aquatic Pool at times.
