THE N.Z. RADIO TIMES
December 14 1937
SOUTHLAND
On Tuesday, November 16 we journeyed out to Riverton again and held another meeting which was a success. Only one car was needed and all who went voted it a great night. After the general business had been attended to, a general “pow-wow” took place until supper and time to leave for home. Our sincere thanks to Roy and Mrs. Cloughley for their excellent supper and kindness in allowing us the use of the room. It was a terrible night as regards weather – it rained all the way there and back.
Another pleasant surprise was the visit of 246W, (Bill Gowen, of Wanganui). Mac and Bob did the honours and when I saw them at Bluff, I don’t think Bill could find any fault with them as hosts. It was a pity he could not have stayed and so enjoyed one of our meetings, but he told me duty called him elsewhere. I hope you arrived safely and will be down this way again soon, Bill.
I would like to remind all members that the competitions close on December 31, and all veries must be sent or handed in by January 5, 1938.
