A Trip To The Stars

Well not quite, but for Messrs Robin Mangos (left) and Rodger Pilbrow it's a change of scene. Robin Mangos has come to Gisborne, from Christchurch, to manage Stars Travel (formerly Ellmers and Skeet) while Rodger Pilbrow, after seven years as manager here, has gone to Hastings to open new branches of the company in Hawke's Bay.

Highest Award
