Two chances to join Gisborne City Vintage Rail this Easter weekend for 1pm trip to Muriwai, see details

Another lovely Gisborne sunny day for the Regatta's second visit.

Sorry for this news but due to the forecast of high winds tomorrow as well as heavy rain, GCVR has cancelled Friday 27th trip. Anyone who has bought tickets can either pop down to the Gisborne I-Site to swap for Saturday 28th or Thursday 2nd January if seats are available OR ask for a refund.

Wonderful for Wa165 to be part of Gisborne's main street clean up today. Thanks Jason Akuhata-brown for this support
