During the first Deaf Sports Convention in Auckland, a group of Deaf hire a bus and make a trip to Orewa, north of Auckland, for a fun picnic and swim. After the bus trip and arriving at the beach, various activities take place – including an impromptu rugby game, swimming, and enjoying a picnic to catch up with old friends. Later, a ‘Bathing Beauties Parade’ is held.
