Motueka Show

The heavy rain which fell over Nelson province late last month was very welcome to all but the organisers of the Motueka A. and P. Show, but after one or two showers on the morning of the show, the day cleared and the programme was completed. An innovation this year was an axemen's tournament, with several N.Z. titles at stake.
