WAIWERA SPORTS

A SUCCESSFUL GATHERING The Waiwera sports, held on the cricket ground, were fairly well attended, people coming from all the surrounding countryside.

M'Kenzie acted as starter and got his fields away in good order. The bushcraft events supervised, by Mr Colin Stuart, created a lot of interest. The following are the results:—
