Welcome back to this Fun and Games series! In this track we hear a number of voices drawn from the Birkenhead City Council Oral History Project recorded in the early 1980s.

Margaret Armitage recalls the annual school picnic and games on the beach; Alice O'Callahan describes playing on the Maypole; and Lloyd Mumme talks of fishing in the local waterways and the fun of bird nesting.
