The 100 or more children expected to attend the sessions will be taught songs, hymns, and chorus singing with a piano accordion accompaniment. Three sessions will be held each day. and will include games each afternoon. There will be a general session in the evening for adults, and this will include square dancing on the camp green and films in tiie mission marquee. “Combined Methodist Bible Class groups have held the mission at Woodend beach regularly since 1951, and it has proved popular both with the children and their parents,” said the secretary of the mission (Mr R. Rigby). The Rev. C. R. Marshall, of the Lincoln road Methodist Church, will be the camp padre.
