Times of thanksgiving: for the end of WWII and for the good earth’s bounty. A Victory Tea is held on the road outside the school, with sports to follow, and the Harvest Festival service is held inside the school (c.1960), led by the Rev Todd. Marrows and flowers abound. At Maesmawr Hall, home of the Trants, apple trees in the walled garden are heavy with fruit (c.1958) and ponies are utilised to reach the best. The punt is taken across the lake to collect punnets of blackberries.
