Celebrating 50 years - Hutt Valley style!

The weekend of 7-9 October, 2011, saw us gather together friends, members past and present, and well-wishers to acknowledge 50 years of activities, good times, and memorable members.

A re-union woyuldn't be the same without mementoes! So of course we have some.

We also produced a short DVD for the weekend. It consists of over 600 individual still images from a variety of events, times and sources. Included are some enchanting 'home-movie' clips by one of our former members, now back in Ireland - Lower Hutt as it was in the early 1960.

You can watch an extract from the DVD below:

If you would like your own copy of the DVD, please complete the order form and return it, with payment, to PO Box 31-469, Lower Hutt.

We also produced a book of photos, which has a selection of the photos from the DVD. It proved a popular attraction throughout the weekend. If you would like to buy your own copy, you can do so online.

50 years of HVIS
