Just An Oompah-

And you've got $2600

Actually, it wasn't as simple as that, as the Gisborne Round Table went to fantastic lengths to bring it all about. It being, of course, the great beer festival, which raised $2600 for the Commonwealth Games Appeal. A marvellous time was had by the 1500 people who attended the function, with bang-on music coming from the Bavaria Brass of Wellington. Beer and mulled wine, cheese and rolls, continuous supper — a great night out!

Typifying the whole deal are Mike and Marie Hewartson in their Bavarian costumes.
