Thrills..... and Spills

In recent months members of the Gisborne Motorcycle and Midget Car Club, and the Go Kart Club, have been providing country people with the opportunity of witnessing their thrilling sport, by staging meetings at Te Karaka, Patutahi, and Tolaga Bay.

Featured on these two pages are a series of pictures taken at the meetings, which we have selected from an extensive collection assembled by Mr Tom Walsh, of the Fire Station, Palmerston Road.
