Vision A Reality

The dream of a new clubhouse, backed by diligent fund-raising and hard slogging, came to fruition for the Wainui Surf Life-Saving Club on December 1, last year. The handsome new clubhouse was declared open by the chairman of the Lysnar Domain Board, Mr Terence Williams, before a very large crowd of Wainui Club supporters and friends.

The new clubhouse is handily situated near the ocean.

Taking part in the opening function are, from left, club president Geoff Musgrave, Domain Board chairman Terence Williams, Mrs Williams and Mrs De Costa (who unlocked the door), Gisborne Branch Royal Life-Saving Society president Bill De Costa, and club captain David Haxton. After the official opening a short carnival was held to mark the occasion.

Or the right plant in the right place at the right time, maybe! This fifteen-foot cactus, which actually, grew from a two inch pot, lends a touch of the old West to the Armstrong residence at 89 Birrell Street. Mind you, it has been growing for some time, 14 years in fact, but none-the-iess it is a pretty impressive plant.
