June 21st 2020 and this year The Trip cannot go ahead as planned due to the Covid-19 pandemic and guidance from government and health officials. So how do we keep the trip spirit going? A Virtual Trip! this is the first in a series of short video clips to allow everyone to still be part of the day. Weather permitting people will still be building gazebo's in their gardens and having picnics and games with their families & friends. Enjoy your day everyone and stay safe.
HAMELDAEME 2020 - The school is closed, no volunteers or children have started gathering in the classrooms to get registered for attendance, no class banners are lined up, no cars in the car park, no band making it's way to the school to collect the children. This video shows what would normally happen. After a sleepless night the time has come to go on "The Trip!" The volunteers are in place and the children are lined up in their classroom groups, new clothes, haircuts, bags of sweets and "trip trainers" are all on show. Those lucky enough have been selected from each class to carry the class banner or lead the front with the St Patrick's banner. Proud relatives stand waiting to wave and cheer for their loved ones. Everyone is excited and chatting away then - Boom Boom strikes the big drum, the band begin to play and the procession moves off out of the school yard on its way to the station. Out on Station Road the Police have stopped the traffic and crowds have gathered to watch the children's procession. When the procession reaches the train station the ban split into 2 and everyone walks through between them, Terry is being belted out by everyone! Its on to the platform and wait on the train. Soon the chartered train arrives and all the children cheer when they see it coming into the station. Everyone gets on and given a seat, most trying to sit beside their best friend as it might be a long journey! Once everyone is on the Scotrail staff signal that we are good to go and its off to our destination with everyone waving out the windows of the train and parents, grandparents and guardians all waving back, the next time we all see each other will be at the seaside!
