20 Years since Leisure Marching Started
N.Z. Originals, now in recess (formerly Marching Grans), hosted a luncheon in April, to
celebrate 20 years since Leisure Marching was founded by Audrey Rodgers in Tauranga.
Former members of the team gathered, along with 2 invited members from the other Tauranga
Teams. An official cake was cut by Audrey and several photo albums and boards brought back
many memories of the 20 years.
