This film contains footage of Hunslet Boys Club on a rugby league trip to France in 1981. There are shots of them relaxing in their accommodation which has a pool, playing rugby, landmarks of Paris, and footage taken from the bus and the journey back to the UK. The club was established in 1940 by Dr. J. Wyllie as a way of offering young people the chance to improve their skills in areas such as sports, crafts, karate, and IT. The Hunslet team are gathered around a pool, swimming, playing ball and diving. There are also some older men who are chatting and smoking. The team then have a group photo taken beside the pool. The team are lined up at the edge of the pool, and in a choreographed move, they all jump in sideways one after the other. Next the young men are all seated around a long table having a meal. One of the foods available is roasted meat from a spit. The opposition rugby team lines up on a pitch for a photograph. Both teams shake hands before the match starts. An injured player is looked after. There are shots of the Eiffel Tower, bateau mouche on the Seine, Notre Dame with a sign reading `Tuesday 28th April 1981, the Louvre, and the L'arc de Triomph taken from the Champs Elysees. The team are all asleep on the bus, and signs for London and Winchester are visible in the background. They make their way back along snowy roads with signs for Manchester, Leeds and Hunslet. The team leaves the bus and smiles at the camera. `Hunslet Boys Club' is visible on the building.
