The reception hall, the Tudor room and balcony were thrown open to accommodate the guests, of whom there were over 1000 present, these including representatives from the kindred clubs in Auckland as well as visitors.

To receive her guests Mrs. Sheath wore a frock of olive green pintucked crepe romaine with a short coatee of black georgette patterned in green and gold. Miss Joyce Sheath was in a blue and white figured organdie frock with a multi-coloured sash.
