Diamond Rally

This year of grace, 1970, is also the Diamond Jubilee of Guiding in New Zealand. A rally of Guides and Brownies from throughout the Guide Province was held at the Intermediate School grounds where demonstrations of various activities, and songs and dances were given.

The rally opened with the flag-raising ceremony. Jenny Caughey unfurls the flag, as Elizabeth Rigney and Catherine Hill look on.
