I can't remember much from these conventions, I have put so much out of my mind, but I do remember the storms that hit regurlary at convention times
In Auckland NZ Eden Park, Ellerslie Park & Alexandra Park I remember coming away totally wet through or half blown away.
actually thinking about, I remember in the late 60s or early 70s being at Alexandra Park (Race Track) and at the same time jockeys being out on the track with horses training, most plp were watching the horses LOL
