Prestige Building

Containing a main floor area of 6000 square feet for archery, plus kitchen, bar, lounge, billiard room and several storage rooms, the Gisborne Archery Club's new air-conditioned building in Disraeli Street was opened recently. Over $100,000 worth of building and furnishings make this complex the city's most attractive venue, and it is certain to be the scene of many social functions as well as some memorable archery contests.
