Annual picnics
Up to the 1960s, tradesmen and shopkeepers in the town took a day off mid-week in the summer to go together, often on consecutive Wednesdays, and went on a picnic by chara to places such as Lytham, there to desport themselves at bowls, sup ale and generally have fun. There was a name for these picnics. Was it a waysgoose ?
