Started in A Coy where I did my basic. Then moved to B Coy and started a Carpentry and Joinery Apprenticeship. I did my basic with the "Pa boys". B Coy won the annual rugby challenge that year. A Coy had the forwards and we had the backs. Waiouru was the first tima a lot of us got to experience snow. Also had a trip up Ruapehu where we learned to stop the quick way (fall over). Played Softball and Rugby. Went to St Stevens and Whakatane High (olds school) for Softball. Unfortunately we came second to Whakatane that game. Tipene tied with us in the Rugby that year and all the 1st 15 got 2 eggs for tea that night. Had a great time there and look forward to catching up at the 2008 reunion. No reira kia ora koutou katoa
