Gisborne's Youth Welcomes P.R.O.

The associated youth clubs' "Welcome to the P.R.O. Dance" attracted over 600 of Gisborne's young people to the Army Hall late last month, making it one of the most successful dances held in Gisborne in recent years.

Highlight of the evening was the official welcome to David Clarke and his wife, by Tony Kay, after which Mr and Mrs Clarke led the supper waltz. Music was ably supplied by two youthful bands: the Crescendos, featuring guest singer Stewart Horsburgh of New Plymouth, and the Musketeers.

Encouraged by their success, the associated youth clubs have formed a committee to organise future events on a similar scale.
