Tahuna's King For A Day

Good King Wenceslas hadn't long been forgotten for another year when King Neptune hit the headlines. He left his watery domain and came ashore at Tahuna where he ruled for a day. Another surf club project, King Neptune's Day was a huge success. The younger element had a wonderful time, what with sand castle contests, races, lolly scrambles and treasure hunts, and the King's older devotees had their fun watching the beach girl and Mr Tahuna contests.
