Summary

Pathe synopsis: In a Skegness factory they’re glueing together the latest fibre-glass gimmicks, which means summer fun for those who used to think skiing was a winter pastime. Easy-to-make trays give the children a slide down the ski-run at a Minehead holiday camp [Butlin’s]. Yes, everyone’s got the craze, so watch the fun and excitement when the skiers get water-borne.
