Out of a cloudy and often wet spring, Gisborne bowlers plucked a fine sunny Saturday to open their season on October 1. Attendances were large at all greens, which looked to be in fine order, unless they were a trifle heavy after the rain. The scene above is at the Gisborne Club's green, in wainui Road, where the pavilion is gay with bunting and the flag is flying as members prepare for the afternoon's play.
