GAMES SEMINAR—The joint athletics and swimming pool complex under construction at Queen Elizabeth II Park was one of the stopping-off places yesterday for the party of 60, mainly representatives of news services in New Zealand and Australia, in Christchurch for a seminar being held by the Games Organising Committee. The party also inspected the Ham village, Canterbury Court, and the Yaldhurst shooting range. A visit was made to Denton Oval, but because there was no key to open the gates the cycling track was not seen. Last evening the visitors met members of the organising committee and today they will see more of the Games venues. The photograph shows the consulting engineer to the Commonwealth Games complex (Mr Bill Lovell-Smith) talking to the visitors through a loud-hailer at Queen Elizabeth II Park.
