Christchurch Deaf Basketball: A trip to Westport

The Christchurch Deaf Club basketball team travels to Westport during Queen’s Birthday weekend 1975 to participate in the Matai Invitation Tournament. Games are played at the Westport Community Hall. Footage covers players travelling to the West Coast via cars, with a few stops on the way, and a compulsory stop at the pub! The boys also make a trip to Pancake Rocks. (No footage of the game in this clip). There is a close-up of the ‘Westport News’, showing a basketball announcement, ‘FIRST GAME: DEAF BOYS v MATAI’.
