Wellington Competitions Society Programmes

Descriptive Data

Archives IdentifierAD001Date Range1918-1976DescriptionThis series consists of syllabuses and programmes for Wellington Competitions Society festivals. The society's first festival, planned for November 1918, was delayed until February 1919 because of the influenza epidemic. From 1921 its festivals were held in the August-September school holidays. Full festivals were held until 1971 in all but four years; in 1942 and 1943 festivals were cancelled because of the effects of the 1942 earthquake on the Town Hall and other buildings use by the Society, and the 1946 and 1948 festivals were also cancelled (the latter because of the poliomyelitis epidemic). There are no programmes for 1945, 1960 and 1962.Quantity (Linear Metres)0.5MediumFileCollection TypeCommunity archives
