A Company Of Clans

Members of many clans gathered at Anzac Park on February 1 for a "Gathering Of The Clans" organised by the Poverty Bay and East Coast Piping and Dancing Association. High class entries in all sections of Highland Dancing, Scottish Country Dancing and Pipe Band displays all contributed to a very enjoyable day for everybody.

The major prize winner in the big event of the day was Jackie Dodd, who is seen here dancing on her winning way to the North Island Championship Sean Triubhais Under 16.

Jackie proudly displays her sash and certificate after the award.
