If rain started, this had to be pulled into position, a very heavy task, and it was considered honourable for the male members of the touring party to assist in getting it into position.

The 1940s and 1950s were relatively hard times due to national recovery being slow after the <a href="/wiki/Second_World_War" class="mw-redirect" title="Second World War">Second World War</a>; rationing was still evident, and annual holidays had not really become established for poorer workers such as weavers and spinners, so a day's outing to the seaside was a rare treat and all that some workers with large families could afford. "Charabanc trips" were usually only for adults, again due to finance. Occasionally the mill owner would help to pay for these outings, but this was not always the case. </p><p>The charabancs, or coaches, were pretty basic vehicles; noisy, uncomfortable and often poorly upholstered with low-backed seats and used mainly for short journeys to the nearest resort town or the <a href="/wiki/Horse_racing" title="Horse racing">races</a>. Some <a href="/wiki/Working_men%27s_club" title="Working men's club">working men's clubs</a> also organised days out, and these trips were often subsidised by the clubs themselves from membership subscriptions that had been paid throughout the year. A few pence a week would be paid to a club or mill trip organiser and marked down in a notebook. This would be paid out to the saver on the day of the trip as spending money on the day. This day out would often be the highlight of the year for some workers and the only chance to get away from the <a href="/wiki/Smog" title="Smog">smog</a> and grime of the busy mill towns. </p><p>As the mills prospered and things improved financially, the annual "<a href="/wiki/Wakes_week" title="Wakes week">wakes week</a>" took over and a one-week mass exodus from northern mill towns during the summer months took precedence over the charabanc trips, and a full week's holiday at a <a href="/wiki/Holiday_camp" title="Holiday camp">holiday camp</a> or in a seaside <a href="/wiki/Boarding_house" title="Boarding house">boarding house</a> for the full family became the norm, instead of a single day out. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Cultural_references">Cultural references</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Charabanc&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: Cultural references"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The French <span title="French-language text"><i lang="fr">char à banc</i></span> appears in Leo Tolstoy's <i>Anna Karenina</i> (1877) in part 6, chapter 17 in the Pevear/Volokhonsky translation (2000). </p><p>The charabanc is notably mentioned in <a href="/wiki/Dylan_Thomas" title="Dylan Thomas">Dylan Thomas</a>'s short story "A Story", also known as "The Outing".<sup id="cite_ref-8" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> In this piece the young Thomas unintentionally finds himself on the annual men's charabanc outing to <a href="/wiki/Porthcawl" title="Porthcawl">Porthcawl</a>.
