> Rob wanted to know more about the Boys Brigade fancy dress swim that I mentioned in one of the Swindon posts, so here goes.
> The day before, our tent, just for a laugh had done the daily bathing parade in our clothes. I think it was mostly Jeans and T shirts, or even coloured button up shirts. Don't forget, this was nearly 40 years ago, so no trackies around then.
> Possibly this gave one of the leaders an idea. After the evening meeting he announced that the next days bathing parade to be fancy dress. There were three categories, uniform shirt and trousers, pyjamas, or regulation white shorts and vest. We were told that the clothing requirements would be pinned to our tent when we got back.
> Sure enough there was a bit of paper fixed to the tent flap with one glorious word written on it 'Uniform'
> I could hardly contain myself, or sleep that night knowing what was to come. The next day was torture, as we went about the daily life of the camp. Around 2.30 pm we were sent of to get changed. I was seriously excited as I took those gorgeous school trousers out of my case, where they had been neatly folded and placed after Sunday's church parade. Over my speedos I pulled on the trousers, found my white shirt, also still quite crisp and white, and pulled on a pair of plimsolls. Some of the lads, there were around 8 or us were giggling with excitement, but a couple were worried about their clothes. Still, nothing they could do. It was an order.
> We looked a strange crew standing on the beach, but luckily it was a small, private cove which didn't attract many other visitors. 8 of us were in black and white, 8 in various coloured pyjamas, and 6 in sports kit. The leader shouted go, and we all plunged in, amongst much screeching and laughter. I remember the sight and feeling being too much for me, and I decorated my speedos from the inside, the first time I had ever done this without the use of my hand.
> I think this started my love of wet school clothes. I remember putting a little mark on the tag of the trousers, so I could remember which ones they were. I still got excited every time I put them on.
> Cheers. Charlie.
