Folk group starting up

By NZSPA Reporter Mike King

Wellington—At a public meeting of the New Zealand Folklore Society in Wellington an interim committee was elected to form a constitution and to investigate incorporation.

The Society aims to foster a greater understanding of the part played by folk-culture in our history, by collecting, recording and publishing songs, poems and anecdotes, and by encouraging present-day writers and composers in the folk tradition.

Anyone interested in learning more of the society's activities can contact the secretary (Duilia Rendall) at P.O. Box 1727, Wellington.
