Olympic Pool Queen Carnival

Five candidates, representing six organisations, have entered in a Queen Carnival to help raise funds for the Gisborne Olympic Swimming Pool Committee's project of providing the city with an Olympic standard competition bath, diving pit, and learner pool.

The Queens, and their committees, have six weeks in which to raise their money, half of which will go to their organisations.

The carnival started in fine style on a recent Friday evening with a very impress ive procession through Gladstone Road of floats carrying the Queens and their princesses.
