Despite The Weather

Although a sudden change in the weather precluded the Gisborne and East Coast Asthma Society from holding its planned garden party at the Akers residence in Haronga Road the event was still a success. It was transferred to the Ilminster School Hall where the feature of the afternoon was a parade of children's wear from Ship'n Shore in Ballance Street. All the children modelling in the parade are either asthmatical or have a member of their family who has the condition.

One of the cutest models is Belinda who is wearing an all-in-one outfit in burgundy, pink and brown.

Warren sports an orange, blue and white jersey with smart cream strides.

Albert models maroon trousers with a black and yellow sweater.

Anita teams a white wool top with a long red, white and blue seersucker skirt

Melissa models a cross-over white, orange and tan top with brown slacks

Enjoying a slice of watermelon during a break is Louise Smith

Vanessa, who is the youngest model at three years of age, comes on stage in a brown and white outfit complete with matching hat

Christopher in the smartest of casual jackets in red, white and blue with fur trim, teamed with black trousers

Stephen wearing a classy Fair Isle patterned sweater in oatmeal and brown with brown trousers

Tracy having a delightful little giggle as she wears this yellow, white and green top with green slacks.

David wears a pale yellow shirt with light blue strides.
