Hui Topu was a Great Success

This May for the first time there was an all-Aotearoa Hui Topu, held at Ngaruawahia; in future this religious, cultural and social gathering will be on a New Zealand-wide basis once every three years. This year's gathering was magnificently organized by the Anglican Church and the people of Ngaruawahia. 8,000 people were catered for during the five days on which it was held, and it was in every way a great success. On the next few pages there are photographs by Ans Westra of some of the people who attended the Hui.
