Mr. R. J. Sutherland, of Wellington, was an Easter visitor to Bunnythorpc, whore he stayed with his mother, Mrs. J. Sutherland. Misses M. Knight and L. Saunders were the guests of Mr. and Mrs. W. Wild for the Easter holidays. TENNIS The Tennis Club's B team visited Pohangina on Saturday to play a return match against the Pohangina B team.
