The organisation has for some years been disbanded and it is only owing to the untiring efforts of Mr Thomas, of Palmerston North, who is acting as bandmaster, that the bandsmen have been brought together again. It is hoped that success will attend his efforts. Several of the young men from Oroua Downs have joined the band. A card tourney and ping-pong evening was held in the school last Wednesday.
