May Drive Day – Gisborne

The Good Folk* of Gisborne came out to welcome the cavalcade of Renaults as the club came to town for market day.  RCCV members and friends spent a nice part of the morning of May 7th having a wander through the 250+ stalls on the social drive day.  The Gisborne market is great and not just because it is part of GREAT – Gisborne Region Events, Activities and Tourism.
