Did anyone ever go on the Sydney St trip to Belle Vue Zoo and amusement park in Manchester. Probably in the mid to late 1960's. My sister and I went on them for a number of years, they were always great fun. We would set off at about 10am from the club, on a double decker bus, and we were all given half a crown (12.5 pence) to spend, after tea we got another half crown. We loved going on the trips as we always felt grown up being allowed to do what we liked for the day.
