Flight for McGrath

By Tony Jaques

NZUSA President John McGrath will enjoy a complimentary flight to New Caledonia on March 31.

Air New Zealand has offered him a seat on this promotional inaugural flight largely in respect of his work with the Student Travel Bureau.

Mr. McGrath will pay his own hotel bills and stay until April 6 to further student travel possibilities there.

Speaking about his plans for the trip, Mr. McGrath said: "1 will try to organise further NZUSA work-camps and discuss with the South Pacific Commission and the New Caledonia Government the success of the last work-camp.

"I will also discuss with the commission its Regional Seminar on Youth to be held at the University of the South Pacific later in the year." he said.

Mr. McGrath said he would also be "hunting out" cheaper accommodation for future work camps and student vacationers in New Caledonia.
