Mr. J. Burfoot, who introduced the idea, said that Gretna Green and Reno were known the world over as the places where marriage was easy and divorce simple. He asked/ why should not Whangarei be known as the honeymoon holiday resort. The suggestion was that there should be set up a honeymoon committee and that honeymooners lie invited to spend, their holiday in Whangarei. On arrival they would go to this committee and receive a card entitling them to: —Free admission to any picture theatre or dance; free membership of any sports body; free bus ride.
The honeymoon committee, it was suggested, would organise a sei-ies of excursions to places of interest. In addition, it would offer a prize of, say £5, to the youngest couple to visit Whangarei during the specified time, and l £5 to the oldest couple. It was decided, on the motion of Mr Burfoot, that the scheme he discussed by the publicity committee.
