TitleCollection of photographs of Inverurie events
DescriptionIt is unclear if it is of one event - several are definitely from a cycling fancy dress event held to raise money for the Aberdeen Royal Infirmary in October 1936 based on comparison with newspaper reports on the Infirmary Day - or five separate events.
There are five distinct sets of photographs:
1. Cycling fancy dress event, which was held in the Inverurie Market Place School playground (Images 1, 3, 7, 9, 15, 26-27, 29, 30, 32-33, 36, 40)
2. Groups of school children sat on grass (the children's dress seems light for October). (images 2, 4-6, 8, 14, 16, 23-25, 28, 31, 35, 37).
3. Group of young children walking down a lane waving Union Jack flags supervised by 5 or so women. (images 10,11, 13, 17-22).
4. Event with military unit on parade (images 12, 34, 41-44).
5. Group of children marching down a road with a few adult chaperones (images 38-39).
They may be photos of different activities at the same event, or different events.

Majority of photographs in Easel Enlargement card folders and most have a number or letter marked on the folder (recorded in alternative reference field in this catalogue). Images 37-44 do not have a reference number or letter and 41-44 are not in card folders.
