Title: Beach Games Down on the sandy Warkworth beach, one of the amateur women filmmakers shoots film of three of the cine club members. The men and women are paired up for a fun three-legged race.

Title: Even the Horse had a Cornet The horse licks its lips after being fed ice-cream, then a portrait shot of the horse ends the film, the beach and dunes in the background.
