(From the Jamboree News) SATURDAY JANUARY 2 AND SUNDAY JANUARY 3 1965 - "VISITORS' DAYS" The size of the Jamboree more than doubled over the weekend as 42,000 people streamed through the gates and swarmed over the camp site. On Saturday January 2 — Cub Day — 8000 cubs with Cub Masters invaded the camp while 16,000 paying customers in summer clothes wandered through the camp's highways and byways. From the time the camp opened to the public until it was time for all visitors to leave, 18,000 people came through the gate. For most of the visitors it was a leg-wearying visit. The car park at the main gate filled quickly on Saturday morning and some of the visitors had to park their cars more than two miles from the main gate. For all you old hands at the camp, it is not hard to realise how many miles they trudged from the main gate all round the site. The car parks filled just as quickly yesterday and security men had a busy time re-directing traffic. As the visitors began to leave, the traffic became a real headache.  At 4.30 on Sunday afternoon, Security closed the main gate on Brady Rd to incoming traffic and re-directed this traffic to the Bradfield Road gate. As the traffic began to leave the car parks and the little niches along the road, it was enough to test the patience of any driver. Although Brady Road was converted into a two-way road for outbound traffic, the cars banked up from the main gate to Stud Road — almost two miles of cars, bumper to bumper, in two lanes. The bank-up of cars on Saturday lasted two hours until 6.30 p.m. until the traffic began to thin out. The same situation repeated itself on Sunday January 4. Security officers praised the patience of the drivers and the visitors inside and outride the camp. "The drivers co-operated extremely well with the boys on the gate and it was a pretty good effort to get the hundreds of cars out during the hectic two hours, on Sat and Sun," one Security officer said. Among the visitors on the Sunday were parents of the scouts. Some of the things they saw amazed them. They saw their sons, who turn a deadly white at home when they are asked to wipe-up, scrubbing pots and plates with the best of them. They saw neat and tidy tents — a striking contrast to some of the bedrooms they find at home. Most of the parents who sampled the camp food were a little surprised that in six days, their sons had turned out to be reasonable cooks!
