Is there any activity coming up for Nuhaka School that we are aware of? Elaine Bill and Beth Goldstone wrote: It is 70 years ago this month that I graduated from Nuhaka Public School and in going through my archives I came across an article I wrote for the 1898-1998 school and rugby reunion book. I then went to the internet and found your internet address nd other items of interest and it made me wonder if there were any gatherings or celebrations for this additional ten years. It seems interesting that with todays crisis in the economy we seem to be dropping back into the days we experienced in the 1930's. Should there be any celebration please add my name and good wishes.
