Former pupils from all over the Nelson province, and from much further afield, journeyed to Dovedale to take part in the Dovedale School's centennial celebrations last month. Adding zest to the programme was a parade of period costumes and vintage cars and horse-drawn vehicles. Some of those who participated are seen above.
