Photography by the Committee Clerk
The group of sub-committee visitors, led by two women, board a light aircraft. The take-off, flight and landing are filmed. The outside of Afan Lido is shown from various vantage points. It then shows the plaque for the opening of the baths, followed by the cafeteria and then the pool itself, with some boys swimming, and with impressive seating and diving boards. They then visit the sports centre, which has photographs on the wall of various sporting events and personalities. Next stop the Bar and the Theatre Conference Hall, where there is a rehearsal in progress. The visiting group then re-board their plane and head back.
