Family Fair At Rabbit Island

The Richmond Y.M.C.A. was fortunate in securing reasonably warm, though windy, weather for its family fair at Rabbit Island. Unfortunately, the wind was too strong to enable a parachute jump to be held, but the acrobatics of Michael Bourke and John Russell on a trapeze suspended from a helicopter 40ft above the ground, was a great compensation. For all, it was an excellent day's outing.
