Stamp Club is 21
The Gisborne Stamp Club celebrated its 21st birthday on November 14. After the usual meeting a very enjoyable social hour was held with early members talking over the formative days of the club. During the evening Mr Fred Bennett was made a life member of the club. He has attended 201 of the club's 234 meetings, not a bad record for a member of any club.
Mr Bennett receives his life membership certificate from club president, Lud Sparks (left).

Eleven early members of the club were presented with Foundation Member Certificates, having belonged to the club since its inception in 1952. They are, from left, in front, Miss Dorrie Hawkins and Miss Lilian Godfrey. At back: Messrs Fred Bennett, Gilbert McLatchie, Merv Lynch, Jock White, Bert Scott and Max Stephens. Absent: Geoff Bruere, Alex Lewison and Jack Hutchins.
