Grand Jan. Slam

The first of a series of programmes, organised by the Youth For Christ committee, for this year, took place at the Patutahi Domain recently. It was the January Grand Slam, which included car smashing, a car gymkhana, hay-bale stacking an and evening meal.

A late entry in the car gymkhana was Patutahi local, Robert Jones, on his horse. He tried to beat the car times around the course, where the competitor had to pick up a lemon from the top of a hay-bale, at selected points.
