Baby of the Year

The Gisborne branch of the Royal New Zealand Plunket Society benefitted to the tune of $7500 from this year's Baby of the Year photo competition. Hundreds turned up at Treble Court to see who were the lucky winners of spot prizes and the various age-group categories. All proceeds will go towards running the Gisborne branch's operations next year thanks to a wonderful public response and generous sponsors.
