Here & There

Museum Piece.

Not seen for many years is this old asbestos fire curtain at the Opera House.

Quite a museum piece. It is unfortunate that some of the advertisements which cover the whole curtain have been painted over. Can't beat the old scrolls and embellishments, eh?

Fishing Contest.

Organised by the Matakaoa Fishing Club, a two-day fishing contest was held at Hick's Bay on the 19th and 20th of November.

There were an extra large number of entries, some from as far away as Taupo.

Rod Doleman (Opotiki) caught the heaviest fish, which unfortunately was landed outside the competition hours.

This is the proud crew which made a clean sweep of the boat fishing section. They are Dave Warrander, (51lb hapuka) and Phil Dolman (Gisborne), and John Lockyer and Bill Dolman (Taupo).
