Builders Confer In Gisborne

Members of the N. Z. Master Builders' Federation held their annual conference in Gisborne last month. Protracted sessions dealing with national matters of importance were held in the Army Hall. In between times delegates were free to join their wives and enjoy the round of entertainment and hospitality organised so successfully by the Gisborne committee.

Among the notable events were a cocktail party, a concert entertainment, and a ball.
