Nelson Intermediate Gala

A trolley derby, and a "Miss Nelson Intermediate" contest were two of the highlights of the Nelson Intermediate School gala held last month.

Christopher Westley, behind the hammer, thinks this is good fun, but judging by the expression on Martin Whyte's face he's not so sure.
