EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming print captures a heartwarming moment at a children's party. A group of girls can be seen gathered together, adjusting their party hats with excitement and anticipation. The photograph is a testament to the joy and innocence of childhood, as these young girls eagerly prepare for the festivities ahead. The party itself was organized by Laings Welfare staff and members of the Committee for the children of staff working on the Thurleigh Airfield project. Held in the Camp Theatre, it was a magical event filled with laughter and fun. Clowns entertained the children, games were played, and there was even a film show to keep everyone entertained. Of course, no children's party would be complete without presents from Santa Claus himself. The room must have been filled with delight as each child received their special gift. Food also played an important role in this festive gathering. Sandwiches, cake, and other delicious treats were served to ensure that all sixty children left with full bellies and happy memories. This photograph not only captures a specific moment in time but also represents timeless themes such as family life, Christmas parties, hairstyles of the 1950s era, and most importantly - childhood joy. It serves as a nostalgic reminder of simpler times when community spirit thrived through events like this one organized by Laings Welfare staff for their employees' families.
