OUT & ABOUT
DAFFODIL DAY INITIATIVE
T V 3 personality John Hawkesby visited Gisborne helping to lift the profile of the Cancer Society. John was the guest of honour at a fundraising dinner held at the Cosmopolitan Club featuring a fun auction with all funds raised going to the Gisborne Cancer Society. This Daffodil Day function was begun by Gisborne's Town Cryer, John Kibble, reciting a poem written for the occasion by John Dwight. At the conclusion of the auction our Town Cryer coerced John Hawkesby into autographing copies of the poem and selling them to the audience for $5. This initiative raised a further $300.

1052 km FUNDRAISER
NOOSA AUSTRALIA - THE ABODE OF NUMEROUS EX PATRIOT GISBORNITES
During the week of 25 September to 1st October local policeman and sporting personality Ross Brown undertook a Community Oriented Policing Project. He cycled 1052 kilometres in 6 days to raise $6,580 to benefit Gisborne IHC. Money was raised by way of a business houseraffle where an advertising package was donated by the Gisborne Herald and Radio 2ZG. 250 local businesses took part in the raffle raising most of the money. A daily update of Ross's progress was broadcast on the radio in conjunction with a public appeal to add to the funds being raised. During the six days, Ross cycled from Gisborne to Napier, Napier to Taupo, Taupo to Meremere, Meremere to Bombay, over the Kaimai Ranges to Tauranga then home via Opotiki. Gisborne Photo News commends the participating businesses and Ross for their magnificent effort.

This year was "...the biggest one yet with more and more Gisbornites arriving each year. It's becoming a home away from home."
